Pros: Drives dual DVI LCDs at 1600×1200 without a problem.
Low power.
Fanless. Cons: None. Overall Review: Plugged it in, installed the closed-source Linux drivers, and it “just worked”. It detected the resolutions of both LCD panels and drives them perfectly at their native 1600×1200 resolutions.

Pros: 21 Watts is a perfect complement for my X7DCA-L with two L5410; and the low profile allows me to create a very small enclosure. Assuming no increase in the cost for electricity () I’ll be saving move than it cost me for this computer! Cons: ( none – it does the 2D job well. I have played UT on it at satisfying performance levels. so, it can do accelerated 3D like a 2007 card – it’s a G86. ) Overall Review: Wish PNY would produce a NVS295 card as the NVS440 is too expensive, imho. seems Dell sells NVS295’s on some of their systems.

Pros: fanless, low watt, dual DVI @1600×1200, cristal clear Cons: none Overall Review: I just replaced a computer with an FX4500 ($1500) card with new computer that uses this video card. 2D picture is better (I don’t do games). This is an excelent card.

Pros: Dual DVI – After I installed sp1 on my vista machine with a ge force 7300 (dvi and vga) I had flicker on the vga monitor and took three reboots in safe mode everyday before I could start normally. Forget sleep sleep mode. Kinda sucked.
Searching the web I found Vista didn’t like a dual monitor setup with one port being vga. Something about copy protection.
So I thought I would give a true dual dvi card a try.
Now I feel “normal” again and can shutdown and use sleep mode with no problems. Cons: Well, I can’t get into my mobo’s bios screen anymore. The monitor just flashes and optimum range message for a second. No settings to change on the monitor(s). I am running dual Samsung 204b’s Overall Review: I would give it a 5 if I could figure out how to get into my mobo bios again.
Not a big deal. I can stick the old video card back in if needed. It would suck if I didn’t have that.

Pros: Excellent 2d. Very compatible – doesn’t cause problems. Low power consumption and thermal output. Does Windows Aero very competently. Cons: Slightly overpriced for what it is (NVS 290), but it’s business workstation class. Overall Review: 2d quality rivals older Matrox cards, and that is saying something. This is a card that you can stare at all day. For those wanting gaming performance, look elsewhere, even though this does some 3d and DirectX 10. When used as intended (ours is in a server environment) it is rock stable and does not compete for power or thermal management.

Pros: It supplies a picture to my monitor. Cons: SLOW, Overall Review: I’m just and average guy and like to try new things. I’m not a gamer so I didn’t go out and buy a gaming video card. I but together a computer (AMD 1090, Gigabyt 890 MB, GSkill Memory) and it scored 7.5 on the prefomance test until it came to the video, 3.5. My computer with onboard video is rated higher. I wish the other reviewers won’t have given this card a high rating. Waste of money. I did download the latest drivers and still junk in my book.

Pros: Card and drivers easily handle extended desktop for dual monitors of widely differing resolutions and ratios. Comes with low profile bracket so it fits in my Slimline. Easy installation. Overall performance is great, and I would have rated it a 5 if not for the one con, which killed it for me. Cons: I’m on my third one because both my original AND my warranty replacement have broken. They replaced them both times without any questioning, but it took a few weeks each time and I had to pay to ship it back. I would not buy another one. Overall Review: At the time I bought it, it was pretty much the only low-profile dual monitor card reasonably priced. Since at the time of this review that is no longer the case, I would not buy this again. If you do buy this, look into registering your product. At the time I bought mine, it gave me three years on my warranty instead of one, and I needed it (twice).

Pros: Dual monitor, it will run and it uses passive cooling. Cons: $140!? Why pay that much for a card that performs worse than a $50 card? DON’T get this card expecting performance from it. You can get a Radeon 5770 for less, $90 if you check an online auction site, and 5770 would destroy this card in anything except noise. Because
real” video cards need fans. If you’re using a “real” video card for as much performance as you’ll get from this then you’d be within the same power envelope anyway. Overall Review: Only possible reason to get this is if you think you have to pay more to get a power saving card. I’m pretty sure you can buy a budget card at $30 that will run in the same power envelope. Once you own this card it’s nothing but a burden because you can’t sell it. Nobody wants these. My onboard laptop graphics can destroy this thing.
For much less than this price you can get an AMD Fusion APU that includes much better graphics. This seems like a card Nvidia made to rip off people who need workstations and don’t understand that they need, and will get, far less than they paid for.
