Just a small tidbit of information, on this graphics card since it came bundled on my pre-assembled computer. Don't get it, even if you are not a gamer like me. Here's why...
It's a entry level graphics card, but capable of running most modern games in low settings and 3 or 4 year old games in high settings. And this is exactly the problem with it, because it's a fanless card.
It idles on 77c (170f) after around 15 minutes of being on and after 1 hour on Doom 3, it's sitting on 99c (210f). Only by leaving the desktop side panel open, can I get it to sit on 65c (149f) when idle which is what Nvidia claims this card to do. And this on a typical non-cluttered Mid-T ATX case. The computer is also new, so no frequent usage or dust accumulation influencing the results.
I'm writing this, because I see this card often being bundled on new entry to mid level computers. Quiet a terrible offer and don't be leaned towards it. After all, at 99c this card is not only dramatically reducing its life expectancy, but actively contributing to a general increase of temperature inside the case.
Buying a fan is an option, but not worthed when one consider an upgrade is cheap with the benefit of just making the computer run faster.
