XFX PVT86JYAHG GeForce 8500GT 450MHz 512MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card ( S-Video / DVI / VGA )

Great card, especially for the price! I didn't expect the 3D game performance to be this good. Image quality via DVI on my old Eizo 18" 1280x1024 LCD is great. Everything looks pleasing to the eye and causes no strain.

XP Pro SP3 rig (forceware 175.xx) paired with ASUS M2N-MX SE, AMD Athlon 64 LE-1600 2.2GHz 45W CPU and 1GB Mushkin DDR2 800 in an In Win IW-Z589T.AQ350BL Black Steel MicroATX Case with (very good) 350W Power Supply this little video card idles 40C, is always silent, and plays HL2 games on high/2xAA/1280x1024 avg 40fps. Image quality is very good, game is playable, and it's all good.

GPU temp gets around 70C under heavy load like Furmark+OCCT/Prime95 (CPU max 40C stock cooling).

The whole rig cost me $350 for the hardware... a great backup computer to my major ($$$) gaming PC...

Also, winamp runs Milkdrop visualizer in desktop and fullscreen modes without a glitch... looks awesome

Very fast video card and the kids are loving the speed of the games overall now :D

I especially like the fanless option. Those things get soo lound and break too often. This is the way they should design video cards.

Works great! It handles aircraft simulations beautifully. No blank panels as the movement occurs. AND no noise!

He is the best one in its type and is but economic the very good one in the games
