The card itself works great once you fiddle with the settings, I learned early on that when the computer asks to be restarted its wise to do so. The drivers that come with the card create a lot of problems, and it is just easier to grab the latest drivers from nvidia's website. The settings must be done in a special order to avoid the machine wanting to reboot several times before getting decent resolution options. The card does manage to play most older titles such as "GTA3" and its opengl support is adaquate with a fast enough machine.
Its a good card after it has been tweaked, but I would advise getting a geforce series if you want the dual monitor functionality.
