This is an older video card that can run Windows Vista and 7 well enough to replace older or incompatible mother board chipsets. The overall Windows Experience Index score will not be that high (2.3-2.4) but it is sufficient for typical computer use where a DirectX 9 or above is needed to run video efficiently. Inexpensive and sufficient performance period.
It's a good product, it allowed me to use two monitors which I love and the Nvidia features are great, made my picture look better but it didn't do what I wanted and that's to watch movies on iTunes. I have an old PC, Windows XP Home with Pentium 4 3.06 GHz and 1.5 GB of ram and no PCI Express slots, only PCI. When I play movies on iTunes it freezes for a second or two and it skips like twelve seconds, I thought that this card was going to fix that, since I have an older laptop with a pentium M 1.6 GHZ and 1.5 GB of ram and the onboard graphics and I play movies on iTunes fine but it didn't, it did however improve a bit.
I woulden't really run this with anything past Windows 7 I mean it works and passes the system requirements, but this is primarily made for Xp/Vista. But will work with 7,8.1, but not sure about 10

I love this card because I just got windows 7 and didn't have Aero this card will enable it which is great but my wei scores (windows experience index) were still low after I retested the score for the Graphics section was only 2.5 and the Gaming Graphics was a 3.2. Other than that it is great, the aero transparency works good and doesn't lack when I move the window. This card is for someone who wants good graphics for every day use not for gamers or people that are serious about graphics.
I found out that my GX520 does not have an AGP port so I had to settle for a PCI video card. It is impressive how well it handles the graphics for old games and even new ones like Minecraft. Since it does not have a fan it is completely silent. I recommend this video card for all those of you who need a reliable PCI graphics card.
