    Duration of ownership: 2 Months

    Strengths: DirectX10, cost, and doesn't require an extra power cable.

    Weaknesses:graphics aren't the greatest.

    Overall Evaluation: If you're looking for a decent video card the XFX GeForce 8400 GS is for you. With Direct X10 compatibility this card will work with Vista. This card is easy to install and I had no driver problems. This card is not recommended for the hardcore gamer or anyone needing high-end graphics for CAD or any graphical design.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Decent price for a DX10 card (not that it matters)SmallPretty QuietEasy to install (no extra power needed)

    Weaknesses:Runs hotNot the best for gaming (obviously)

    Overall Evaluation: It might have all the DX10, SP 4.0 technologies inside but don't be fooled, it's certainly not a gaming card. It's good for maybe older games or some very light low resolution gaming. It works well for HD Content, dvds, internet surfing, vista, and your basic programs. Looks great, and comes with a double lifetime warranty from XFX!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: DX10 Support, DVI & VGA Connectors, Supports HDTV

    Weaknesses:No HDMI connector (but what do you expect out of a budget video card?)

    Overall Evaluation: This is a great card to boost your system with so that its Vista compatible and ready for HD content. It also has a fanless heatsink, so this is perfect for those that want to use it for HTPCs. This card obviously doesn't even compare to the top of the line stuff like the 8800s, but so what? This is so much cheaper.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: dx10 compatibility, fanless design, hi-def playback

    Weaknesses:poor gaming performance

    Overall Evaluation: well, this card does the job it's supposed to - a budget card for desktop applications, and no gamer.the latest batch does not look the same as that in the picture, it's the fanless design version, this is perfect for hdpc. the other thing is that the h264 decoding performs much better than the 7 series geforces. and yes it plays WOW ok, at 1280x1024.it's cheap, but it does its job, period!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Good video performance

    Weaknesses:Cannot play new games with high res

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this card to replace the integrated video card in my HTPC, which is a Dell Vostro 200 Slim Tower. It's plenty fast for me and fits my needs. I knew that I wasn't buying a high end card to begin with, but this card is sufficient for playing older video games (like Counterstrike) and watching DVDs).
