XFX 8400GS 256MB nVidia PCI Express Graphics Card

from: XFX Nvidia

It was easy to get started. Just installed the card in the computer, turned on, and then windows detected it and asked for the drivers. So I put the disc in and away we went.

I can now get the definition that my screen recommends, and we seem to zip along a lot faster than when the graphics were on the motherboard.

I don't notice the fan particularly, but then my (much lower spec) old computer had a graphics card with a fan, so I guess I am used to it. It's not loud.

There is a known issue with this and other XFX cards, the cooler fan does not switch down and runs at a constant 100% thus sounding like a 7freaking47 inside the PC case. You'll have to go through a lot of trouble with XFX to fix it or hope like I do Amazon will honour the returns policy.

I bought this card thinking it would fit into my reasonably large case, but when I tried to put it in, it was just too big so am now trying to send it back and go for a smaller 8600.

This unit takes up 2 slots and is about 1.5 inches thick and a length of 220mm as stated in a previous review.
My Machine isn't small but it still didn't fit. I am not prepared to but a new motherboard and case, so am rather disapointed.

But anyway let that be warning to people like myself who aren't into the hardware, as much as the software.

The only way I can see this thing being put into a machine is if you custom build your own!

This is an excellent card for a low price. Somewhat of a takedown of the 8800 series cards, this mid range 8 series card provides all that i've needed for all the Current games out now (i.e. HL2, CS:S, Quake 4, etc.), at present I can only run at a max res of 1280x1024 because of my TFT but i can turn other video settings up till max (16xQ AA & 16x Anistropic Filtering, etc) & while still running games at around 65-80fps.

If the need arises for better performance, this card is also an overclocking beast! With the current fans I have in my system, it is possible for me to OC the card using Nvidia Ntune by up to around 30%, satisfying my performance needs.

Also, as this is also a DX10 compliant graphics card it will allow ... Read More:
