ZOTAC GeForce FX 5200 ZT-52FPC2N-HSL Video Card

Comment:
I had a situation where my old computer with an ATI Radeon 9200 SE died, and I was able to scrounge around to find a Dell Optiplex 170L to match another I was already using. I wanted a video card that could run on the 300W power supply already in the system, and drive a 24 inch 1920x1200 monitor. This card did so wonderfully that I upgraded the other Optiplex 170L with it as well. I'm still running XP Pro, but based on what I read, I expect this to work with Windows 7 as well. Budget card, but does what I needed.

I bought this card to use in my old Dell Dimension 3000 so I could experience the Windows 7 Aero desktop, which neither the on-board graphics nor the 32mb graphics board I was using would support, and it works fine. Using the DVI input with my Dell 21.5" widescreen monitor creates distorted images (stretched) when trying to use the maximum monitor resolution, but the vga input does not. Hopefully this is a problem with the monitor and not the card. This is the second Nvidia based card I own, and I'm satisfied with both.

Product in good & working condition.

I got this card for my kids' PC. It was difficult to set up but only because I needed to disable the on-board video first. Once I cleared that hurdle, it worked fine. Took Sims 2 from a 5 minute load to 30 second load, and much better performance all around. Made them very happy.

Installed into the PCI slot on my Dell Dem. 2400 and got no were with it. Call tech support after digging deep to find a phone number and was told that some time they don't wokk in some of the older machines. This retailer was good at getting my refund.

Breathed new life into a compact, well done Zotac. Looking forward to trying out one of thier boards. Only hitch was compacts limited bios would not allow disabling onboard video. Installation of Forcware software solved it easily.

I tried to install this card in an older Dell Optiplex and it did not work.. I contacted Zotec tech support and they claim this card is not compatible with Dell motherbaords. Rather than give up, I proceeded to install it in a newer Dell Dimension and guess what? It didn't work either. Before you waste money on shipping, make sure it is compatible with your Dell Machine. FYI, you can only contact Zotac tech support after registering the product.

I bought this card so I can watch movies from Netflix on my tv. I specifically go this one because my computer came with a Nvidia card and this one was advertised as working with Vista. It does not. The drivers for Vista are completely messed up and there is no tech support. This site, however, was great to work with and, I was able to return it with no problems. I will definately buy other computer components through this site.

i have a dimension 2400. after upgrading the entire computer, 2gb RAM, DVD drive, pentium 4 3.06 processer, and finally this product. see i want to upgrade to windows 7, and after running the windows 7 upgrade utitily, it says this video card will be able to handle windows aero and so i am sure it will perform nicely. Recommended if you want a nice video card that will get you the windows aero experience.

This was a great value for upgrading my older PC's video card. Very easy installation on my Dell. Shipping was super fast. I placed the order in the afternoon and got it in 2 days.

ordered this for an upgrade for a gateway i bought and even though it is a 2ghz p4 with a gig of ram with this card i am running vista ultimate with no flaws so if you looking for a great upgrade for a low price look no further

I brough this card because it states that it is 98, me, xp and vista ready. surpise when i opened the bos and read the manual, it states that it requires xp ,2000, or vista, even their own web site states 98, me xp and vista I do not run xp or vista

I'm no expert, it was a big improvement from my onboard video.

Comment:
works as advertised

Had hard time configuring but now working fine. Once you're a multi monitor junkie you will never go back to just one.

This is "great bang for your buck" product. However, it did not fit into my computer. My system is a Dell Dimension 3000. I have tried two so far and finally on my third try- by ordering through Dell, I got a card to work.

I *love* this item. I had 1 computer that died and another one whose built-in AGP VGA port on the motherboard was going out. I was able to pop this into the regular PCI slot and it took off running like a champ on my 1.8GHz Athlon XP system with Windows XP Pro. The fact that it has both a VGA port and a DVI-D port was even better - that way I knew it would be compatibile with the 24" HD WS LCD Monitor I had bought as well. Zotac, you guys have one heck of a great product here! It has been running non-stop for a month now, 24/7 without so much as a burp.

Purchased for my 4 yr old Dell Dimension 2400, it installed without any glitches, allowed me to install Windows Vista Business Edition on this older system and enjoy the full Aero desktop

Comment:
This is a great product to get if you do not have the pci-express card slot.. It has allot of power behind it and it has a very good price on it as well!!

I was looking for a video card that would match the resolution of my new monitor, but I didn't want to pay a huge price for it. This video card fit the bill. The monitor resolution is great and the price is right.

Gateway with Vista very hard to install and don't see any difference. No support. It might work better on xp. I wouldn't buy it again with out support.

Great product - Very easy install (at least with my machine- Dell).
