- My old GTS 250 fried last night, so I picked one of these up locally. Big mistake. I figured that even though this card wasn't tailored for gaming being 3 generations newer than my old card it should still be a a bit better. Actually, it's worse. I get chop in every game I run, even old ones, and it has sound conflicts to boot. Turns out this card has a history of causing sound dirver conflicts, often shutting off onboard sound.To illustrate just how bad this card is, I even got very slight chop playing Counter Strike: Source. It's a 6 year old game, one of the most basic and commonly played ones out there! If a graphics card has even very slight problems with CS:S, it's frankly crap. Only consider…
- I bought this for a HT-PC pretty much specifically for the HDMI port on it, and it performs admirably in that fashion. My one complaint is that the tiny fan on the heat sink is horribly loud. Aside from that, it is working perfectly for my intended use of it.
