3.0 out of 5 starsOK graphics card; struggles with 1080p mkvSeptember 14, 2011

By Ramkumar Balaraman

I bought this for a 4-year-old Gateway PC (AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+/4GB DDR2 RAM). I earlier had a 256MB ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO graphics card in the PC, with the DVI hooked up to my 1080p monitor and the VGA hooked up to my 1080p HDTV. While image quality was pretty good on both, there was very noticeable frame-slicing when watching high-def content using VLC on my HDTV. My earlier SDTV did not have this issue when I had it hooked up to the s-video port on the graphics card. Obviously the ATI card was no match for 2 1080p displays (in extended desktop mode). Not surprising, since the card is at least 3 years old and was entry level even back then.This GT 520 is entry level as well, but also draws very low power (29W), which is important since I don't plan to upgrade the 300W stock PSU on my PC. I was happy to note that it drives both my displays (monitor and TV) with ease, and I can happily browse on the monitor while the TV is playing 720p MKV files without any frame-slicing. However 1080P MKV files don't play as smoothly. There is no frame-slicing, but frames get noticeably skipped every few seconds as the video struggles to keep up with the audio. Most of my content is 720p, but I was hoping to be future-proof a few more years. My windows experience index went up from 3.0 to 4.9, but graphics is still the lowest sub-score.Other issues:1. VGA is automatically treated as secondary to HDMI during boot, so the boot-up display was always going to my TV instead of my PC monitor. Luckily I had a DVI-to-VGA adapter lying around so I could connect the PC monitor to DVI instead. This restored the boot menu to the PC monitor.2. My monitor is a Dell S2209W and the text was slightly fuzzy at first, even after the drivers were installed. Definitely readable, but headache-inducing. I was almost sure I would have to return the card when I hit 'Auto Adjust' on the monitor. That fixed it!3. I usually install only the drivers, and no additional software (such as install managers, control centers, etc.) With this card, I had no option to skip the control center / install manager. I have manually disabled the install manager from start-up, but I would have much preferred a clean driver-only install. The drivers are also huge in size compared to ATI, and there are 5 drivers in total.Overall, I would recommend spending a little more to get a GT 430 instead. Ideally I would get the GT 440, but it needs too much power: GT 520 - 29W, GT 430 - 49W, GT 440 - 65W
