EVGA has always been a great upgrade card because they manufacture quality items at very good prices. This card is no exception. The installation is easy only taking up 1 PCIe x16 slot. There is small fan just over the processor. The memory is only DDR2 which is ample for most games. The really nice part is that this card allows older machines to catch up to Direct X 10. I tried it with Vista 64 and it installed just fine. I also tried it with Vista 32 and had no issues. I did not try it with XP.

I have an hp computer which has an integrated nvidia graphics chip which was great for basic computer operations but not really good for multimedia and or gaming. I saw this card for sale here on amazon for the ridiculously low price it is, and, concidering its specifications, I figured I would give it a try since I had an open PCI-E port free in my computer.
Wow! What an improvement this card has made! Not only did my computers video processing performance increase 500 percent, but the overall image quality it displayed is noticeably more lively! Oh and for vista users, this card will take full advantage of vista and do it with awesome performance. For an idea of how this card handles gaming; I have bioshock for xbox360 so i downloaded the bioshock demo on my pc to compare. I can get bioshock to run on my pc with this new card with a fairly good frame rate at the highest settings. However, in the end my xbox360 clearly outperformed my pc with bioshock in just about every way. (I'll give my full pc specs at the end) Although my PC could not run bioshock up to par with my xbox360, it could run it at a more than playable frame rate at medium quality settings. So if your a person who doesn't need the best of the best and just wants to play some games then this card is probably ideal for you.
Now, if you are concidering buying this card, there are just three main requirements you should have met before purchasing: at least a 300w power supply, an unused PCI-Express slot and have either a windows xp or windows vista operating system and you should be all set.
My computer specifications are currently as follows:
Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2180 2.00GHz
4.00 GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce9400 GT 1 GB DDR2 (the item i'm reviewing)
500w Antec Power Supply
Windows Vista Home Premium
Hope this review helps you decide if this card is right for you!

| I purchased this video card to replace an ATI video card from the last generation of cards. it miles ahead of it. With 1GB of ram it flies on all online games I play including Guildwars, WOW, WAR, and DDO. It runs Crysis and Halo 3 at a very playable framerate at maximum graphics settings running at 1280X840 resolution. I highly recommend it if your looking to get great graphics at a reasonable price. |
Excellent Choice!

I had read other reviews posted here previous to purchasing this Graphics Card that boasted just how well it worked for such an amazing price. I have to admit, it's stellar for the pricetag. Most of the reviews were concerned with basic uses, however, so I wanted to create a review for someone like myself who was working on a budget to come up with a good gaming machine, but worried that "cheaper" might not cut it.
I play the online game World of Warcraft pretty extensively and purchased the following computer setup:
* AMD Phenom 9650 Quad-Core
* 640GB hard drive
* 7GB of DDR2 memory
* 64-bit Vista Home Premium
* NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE 128MB
The graphics card was near useless, giving me perhaps 6 FPS in a majorly populated city and around 3-6 FPS during a 25 man raid. This was with all the settings turned down and virtually no UI enhancing addons. After installing the 9400 GT 1 GB, I'm able to use all those beautiful addons, turn all my graphic settings to max and get around 19-38 FPS in a majorly populated city, 40-70 FPS in a normal, noninstanced environment and around 25-45 FPS during instanced, 25 man content. I played a long time at a low framerate, know how frustrating it is and I have to say, after installing this it's like playing a whole new game. I can't heap enough praise on it for how little I spent.
Not sure how helpful this review will be to those who play other online games, but WoW seems to be a pretty decent hog when it comes to resources. I hope this was helpful to at least one other curious person. |
Great for Windows 7 and excellent cooling capacity

After four years of using the NVIDIA 7300 card that came standard on my Dell XPS 410 with no major issues, decided on getting a replacement for Windows 7. Found this card, the EVGA GeForce 9400GT and for the price, thought on giving it a try. It can be summarized in one word; Performance. Even though I did not noticed any difference on DVD playback, the Windows Experience Index increased from 3.5 to 4.9, mostly because the old card had only 128 MB of memory while this one has 1 GB. Several things worth mentioning, especially for Windows 7 users that are considering this card.
First, the GeForce 9400GT is fully compatible with Win-7. But for installation, do not follow the steps on the instruction booklet. The installation disk has drivers for XP and Vista only. Just plug your new card in the PCI-2-E slot (following the precautions for unnecessary static and proper grounding) and fire the computer. The display will be opaque with large icons and when the system asks you to search for a new driver, click on YES (unlike the instruction manual says). The card self installs but the system will need a reboot. Don't waste time downloading what some "sites" claim to be a Windows 7 driver, I downloaded two of those and they are the same as the one in the OS disk.
Second, something unexpected but very useful. This card is cooled by a fan. On the usual cards (with no fan) heat is dissipated upwards by the plates. In the case of the XPS 410 this causes unnecessary heating of the TV card which can only be located above the video card. EVGA has come with the clever solution of working the fan downwards so air is forced from the space between this video card and the above one, down the EVGA cooling the "coopered columns" in the periphery of the green rectangle and dissipating heat trough all four sides of the card.
Third, the card comes with two DVI to VGA adapters (has two DVI outputs but no VGA) plus and HDTV and a S-Video cable. This is quite convenient especially when you get your card by mail and find that you don't have the DVI cable. I am using the VGA adapter and old VGA cable for purposes of proper comparison. In my case I did not needed any external power supply since it was installed in the proper PCI-2-E slot. Thus, for the price paid (less than $60.00 from Amazon's Tiger Direct [THANKS GUYS] shipping included) the EVGA GeForce 9400GT is probably the best value for your buck, especially for those transitioning to Windows 7.
