- I bought this to replace a faulty Nvidia GT 220 and so far it's worked like a charm and runs very cool--around 32-35 degrees C. I should mention that I don't run Windows on my machine, Linux Mint (main edition) being my main OS with two other test partitions for distro hopping. Currently I have Chakra Linux "Edn" (based on Arch) installed in one and PCLinuxOS (based on Mandriva) in the other. The point being that the GT 430 has been automatically/semi-automatically (depending on the distro) detected and the correct driver has been installed (Nvidia 270 and 275). One thing to keep in mind is that the GT 430's forte is multimedia and entertainment and not heavy gaming. As such it works…
- I bought this as a cheap solution for my kids home built PC with the idea that he wouldnt be able to play high end graphics but at least he could play something.I was suprised, when playing LOTRO, it automatically maxxed out the settings and it plays on 1680x1050 with no issues.Rift plays the same way, on nearly max settings at 1680x1050.Impressive.
