Great Great Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strengths: DX 10, HDTV, Oc'd, fast, Cheap, SLI

Weakness: None (had for 2 months)

This Graphics card has everything that most gamers need, you have DX 10, HDTV, and SLI, it's fast and quite, and i picked up mine for $105 (nzd) about 40 in pounds, and can play Assassin's Creed maxed out and Cysis on medium on my dualcore and 2gb ram, so a great reliable card.

Great video card

Strengths: DX10, fast, cheap, Vista

Weakness: Not super fast

First of all, this card is AWESOME for the money. You get DirectX 10 compatibility, HDTV output, HDMI-ready output cability, dual DVI, and it is a fast card at a cheap price. This is not as fast as some of the other cards out there today, but the price to performance ratio is about the best you're gonna find. It will happily meet the requirements of all but the MOST SERIOUS gamer!

MSI have Quality Control Issue

Strengths: Fast, can run most games at good resolutions with AA/AF turn on.

Weakness: Defective, quality control issue

MSI have Quality Control Issue. I just bought this card brand new and when I play games, after 15 minutes it would have snow and speckles all over the screen. I don't expect a new product to be defective, but it was. MSI should check their products more thoroughly before selling them. If I didn't receive a defective card , I would gave it a 4 or 5 stars.

A good video card

Strengths: easy install,good pic quality

Weakness: a little noisy

I bought this MSI NX8600GT-T2D256E video card just want to turn my desktop into a LCD TV.

Installation is very esay and fast. It works very well in windows vista operation system.

After I installed it, I checked the rating of graphic of my computer's performance ,and I am surprised that the rating became 5.3 from 3.5,which is the hightest score in my system.


With a TV tuner and my samsung big widescreen monitor, I could enjoy TV program on my computer. I can still see things very clearly, even I sat several feet from the monitor. The picture is perfect.

The only thing I want to complain is a little noisy. But it is not a big problem because that you would notice it only if your enviroment is very very quite.

Great Card

Strengths: DX10, quiet, easy to install.

Weakness: none

I put it in Dell Inspiron 530 with 380W power supply, no problem at all. Easy to install. No problem with my Vista Business. Not very expensive. It can run call of duty 4 very well. It meets my needs.

Impressed

Strengths: Good performance, low price, low noise

Weakness: Does not make julienne fries.

I will have paid $90 if/when I get the $20 rebate back, but even at $110 this is a good card. Dual DVI outputs, easy installation, and sweeeeeet performance. There are better cards, but I really think buying 2 of these and doing SLI would be better than buying a top-of-the-line card. Runs Bioshock at 1600x900 like a champ! Installation was easy, no issues. Bought this one for the wife's office PC, and now I'm jealous! Me likey.

Good if u don't mind noise

Strengths: Sub $100 card with DirectX 10, GDDR3, 128bit bus, faster GPU

Weakness: no Fan control on that tiny loud fan unless you have a MSI mobo (remind me of microsoft)

I was told by their tech support that unless you have a MSI mobo and run XP, you can't control the fan(whether it is the OC card or regular). Even with the card Oced, there is no need to run the fan at full speed. So, you can either improvise (get a fan regulator, or another vga cooling solution which means extra $20-30 on this $80 fan) or buy from another vendor. (Asus's OC version has the same fan control issue since they both use non referenced cooling solution)

Great card for the price

Strengths: Quiet, great for home made media centers

Weakness: none

Using this card in a PC with a Blu Ray drive and it works great!! Plays back BR movies no problem on 52" LCD using DVI-HDMI converter. 1080P picture and card supports HDCP. Great card for the price, very quiet

One of best buy for 8600GT or mid range

Strengths: DX10, full h.264 decode, comes pre-overclocked, good price

Weakness: None (Owned for 2 weeks)

One of the cheapester 8600 series card is fastest of them all. It comes factory overclocked and is very stable. It does full HD decode. 8500 also does it and is about 2/3 price of this one but 8600 is twice better at gaming than 8500. Suited my needs very well.
