Dropped Ranking of Vista "Windows Experience Index" [Posted on 2007-03-21]
Put this into Intel motherboard DG965OT with builtin graphics GMA X3000 and this card dropped the "Windows Experience Index" for Vista, specifically for "Desktop performance for Windows Aero". Builtin ranked it at 3.8.

Noisy for Office Work [Posted on 2007-04-13]
I don't play games. I suppose noise is not much an issue with games as they have sound.

But if you use it for office work, the noise is a bit too loud. The noise is constantly at its highest level, unlike some cards that slow down the fan if the video card is not working heavily.

Compared with analogue, the digital output does give you clear, sharp text and better picture. If your monitor have digital input, you should get a card that supports it. The difference is big in my opinion.

For office work, I suggest you to get a fanless graphics card like e-GeForce 7100GS. I am however suprised that EVGA does not clearly point out that 7100GS is fanless.

Works as intended [Posted on 2007-05-06]
The first one did not work after installing the drivers. Amazon customer service was excellent and it was easy to do a return by using their website to print the shipping label. The second one arrived immediately and it did not have any problems. We don't use this for a gaming system and it serves the purpose well.
