Axle GeForce GT 430 Review
Conclusion
Nvidia and Axle have served up yet another gem. This GT 430 makes a great HTPC card and does well in light to medium gaming. The power saving features are a big plus for the more conservative users and are a good, ‘green’ approach to modern computing.
At US $70, this is a great value for money and it can even be found cheaper at online stores. Here are the pros and cons of this card:
Pros
- Supports DirectX 11, CUDA and PhysX
- Full hardware HD video decoding
- High quality HD video post-processing
- High efficiency (performance per watt)
- Efficient cooling system
- Fan runs quietly
- Fan and shroud are removable
- passive cooling possible
- completely silent cooling possible
Cons
- Dual-slot design
- No SLI support and thus no 3-display Surround
It is easy to recommend such a well-balanced video card that offers decent performance on a budget. Great value!
