I don't know where all these good reviews came from. The minute I started using it I was disappointed and I mean really disappointed. I agree with one of the reviews in that this card has really bad contrast and color issues. The standard menu bars on my system turned this ugly yellow color and the contrast sucks. The graphics in games is also nothing compared to the true Nvidia and ATI cards ABSALUTELY any comparison.

I had an ATI 9800 Pro AGP 128 in my system and loved it BUT as most know the ATI 9800 Pro has REALLY serious issues. So, I thought ok, let's try NVIDIA. I was shopping around and saw that this card had great reviews so I purchased it at Wal-Mart for $119, installed it and as soon as I saw the quality of not only my desktop apps but also my games I got sick to my stomach. Everything has this horrible contrast to it, the games looks horrible. I have the updated drives, tried adjusting the contrast/brightness and color to no avail. This card is a joke.
