This was supposed to be the upgrade along with a different processor as recommended for my old pc, but did't really perform as well as expected (lag) but it works okay for old tech. Not much difference from my old nvidia 8400gs 512mb pcie (no fan). Drivers are no longer supported on either so i think that's what the problem is, not he video card. One good point, it runs a lot less hotter under load than the nvidia card did.
