- A couple months back I got an economic, slimline desktop that's actually pretty powerful. However, it had integrated, crappy graphics and I wanted to play video games.This card uses a max of 20 watts of power and fits into a PCIe x1 slot. It gets a 4.5 for desktop graphics and 3.7 for 3d video games in the Windows Experience Index. It's got an extremely customizable NVIDIA control panel that lets you tune and tweak everything and ZOTAC Firestorm which lets you overclock with ease. It's CUDA-enabled which could be an upside for some people. (I use Flam4CUDA to render fractals myself--it's 9 times faster.)I can't play anything insanely amazing on it, but I can get 30 fps in most games with good settings. (Killing Floor, wow, Dungeon Defenders, Borderlands, Bloodline Champions, all on high) Something worthy of note is that this can't emulate good-looking gamecube/PS2/xbox games but it does very well with gba/DS/ps1/lower-end ps2-era games.If you want VGA out, you need another port higher…
