Input: Nice card. Noticeably improves video performance and the price is right. Pros: HDMI, DMI and VGA ports, great phone tech support (24x7 free!). Cons: no documentation in the box and no dedicated audio out at all (not even an analog audio out). Not much product-specific info on the website. I wanted to use this card for video only, and continue using my existing audio setup. But when I installed this the sound on my HP a1640n stopped working. I tried every fix I could think of -- re-installing drivers, disabling them, etc. I thought the geForce card' software had overwritten or corrupted my motherboard's audio drivers. After reading many online posts I decided I had to re-install windows and start all over. I spent a weekend backing up files and re-installing. It still didn't work. Eventually I went back to the EVGA site and found a tech support number (blame myself for not doing this *much* earlier). EVGA has 24/7 free tech support! After registering the card on the website (required) my call was answered immediately at 10 pm on Sunday night by a knowledgeable person who wasn't just reading a script. (I think I talked to Doug? Best tech support call I've had in years). Problem solved in about 90 seconds (I had to re-boot, go into the BIOS, and set the on-board audio to \"on\" (options are off, auto and on). Had I found the tech support number earlier I would have saved myself a lot of grief. Bottom line, if you aren't reasonably comfortable mucking around with PC/Windows settings and/or prepared to take a risk, don't try to upgrade a PC with on-board graphics and audio (most mainline consumer PCs fall into this category). If you are reasonably comfortable, go for it -- but call the company's tech support line if you have any problems.
Output:
Great value. Outstanding tech support to call if you have installation problems
