Somewhere late 2009 or early 2010 I bought this card new. It ended up in my home-server and ran 24/7 for 10 years until I replaced it with a more power efficient Volari Z11 card.

To this day I never tested the 3D-part of this card since it only ran in my server that's accessed through RDP. Of course 3D won't be very fast for a low-end passive cooled card yet it would be interesting to see in the benchmarks.

Stability/quality-wise this card has nothing to blame. It ran for 10 years with practical no interruptions. The heatsink was always quite warm (almost hot) and it never received any more cooling than it's heatsink it came with. A good quality product if I may so .

Also, did you notice the brand of the RAM-chips? It look like the RAM-chips never took a fight with, or a beating from, the GPU . > Read more
