Works well, but noisy, April 29 2011

This review is from: PNY VCGGT5201XPB nVidia GeForce GT520 1 GB DDR3 VGA/DVI/HDMI PCI-Express Video Card (Personal Computers)
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.

Not at all impressed, Dec 23 2011

This review is from: PNY VCGGT5201XPB nVidia GeForce GT520 1 GB DDR3 VGA/DVI/HDMI PCI-Express Video Card (Personal Computers)
I read the three other reviews, and thought maybe the one star review was in error. Of the three, it was the only one that was right on. I installed it in my system (AMD Phenom II x4 3.2GHz, 4GB RAM, plenty of HDD space)to replace an older GT 240. After running through the sound problems that Tim mentioned, I proceeded to tweak it the best I could. Two of my favorite games (Tennis Elbow 2011 and Call of Duty: MW2) had consistent tearing on the same settings that I had with the GT 240. Very disappointing! I had to lower the game quality to get them to play as smoothly as before. Not an upgrade in my book.I removed it and put the GT 240 back in, and installed the GT 520 in my S.O.'s PC (she has an older one with really bad on-board video). Although the graphics and speed were increased on hers, it took me 45 minutes of troubleshooting and a hotfix download from Microsoft to get the sound back. At least on mine it was a matter of rebooting a couple of times. On hers, the card actually removed her sound device. Totally unacceptable from fine companies like Nvidia or PNY.
I would not recommend this card except as a necessary $50 replacement for the non-gamer. It's fine for surfing, email, Word documents, etc., but that's about it.

Almost worthless, Aug 23 2011
By Tim Winter "blizzard36" - Published on Amazon.com

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 getting this card if you don't have any onboard graphics built into your motherboard.
Listmania!
