Great for watching videos but not much else. I bought Sparkle GeForce 8500 GT Video Card - 256MB card to breath a bit of life back into my old outdated P4 box i had sitting around. While Sparkle's 8500GT was much much better than the Nvidia TI 4200 that was in there, it doesn't play games that well. Also to a BIOS update was needed to get the card working correctly. ( If you have an OEM mother board like I do, expect an hour on the net to find the right BIOS. )All in all a great card. watching HD movie encoded in XVID took my CPU usage from around 70 percent down to 5 percent. Sparkle GeForce 8500 GT - 256MB card is great for off loading video decoding from the CPU.Another thing since it is part of the 8000 series, it is a CUDA enabled GPU. Dont really know what Sparkle GeForce 8500 GT Video Card - 256MB will do yet but cant wait to try it.Bottom line... If you have a computer that has no AGP slot then get this. If you do have a computer that DOES have an AGP slot and are a casual gamer i'd go with the 7600GT if you can find one in AGP flavor.

Ordered the part and got it in 4 days, although the one that came in the box had a fan rather than passive heatsink. Great card for PCI motherboards, generates a little heat and extra cooling fans are a thought. :]Couldn't get DX10 on a P4 2.2GHZ at a decent framerate but still a powerfull card.

I was happy to get a card that would let my 4 year old HP Pavilion Media Center play Spore. I feel I overpaid at 121.99, the screenrate and details aren't maxed, but I can't fault the performance of the card. Sparkle GeForce 8500 GT Video Card - 256MB was easy: plug it in and it went. It's quiet. I'm happy.
