Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of PNY Verto GeForce 8500GT 512MB Video Card

Customer Review: Great replacement to integrated graphics for the price!
Summary: 5 Stars

My desktop was getting on in years, and so rather than purchase a new one I decided to make some low-cost upgrades. Among them, I upgraded the RAM from 512MB to 2.5GB (thank you Crucial!) for around $[...] and when I spotted this on clearance at the local Staples for $[...] I figured it couldn't hurt. The computer had a very dated Intel graphics card, and while it technically could play DVDs and most low-end video games, I knew it would be functionally obsolete before long without some kind of improvements.

I installed the newest version of the drivers from Nvidia, and threw the card in. The computer recognized it immediately, and I was instantly blown away by how crisper the desktop image looked. I knew it had been slightly fuzzy, since my HP Pavilion laptop had a Nvidia GPU and there was a noticeable difference between them. Seeing that level of clarify on my 20" monitor really let me know I had done the right thing.

Just so it gets said, I'm not much of a gamer. I might play GuildWars ever now and then, but thats about it. Still, even for that its a huge improvement over its predecessor, loading things much more quickly, and displaying them at a much higher quality than was capable before.
