Excellent for HTPC on old CPU low profile, low power.By Larry from Los Angeles
I have an old Dell Optiplex GX620 with PCI expresss2, 4GB, 1TB, running Windows 7 64bit that I use mostly as an HTPC for streaming video via DLNA. Installed the card without a glitch, W7 will install automatically the drivers although some users will find useful to download the very latest drivers directly from Nvidia.
Video and audio is running clearly and smoothly on my Samsung HDTV 42" which I connect to via an HDMI 1.4a cable (in case you were wondering). Almost can't hear the fan, practically silent in my small room, and actually I prefer the fan being there as ventilation is poor in my cramped SFF Dell Optiplex (more later).
It doesn't need an extra energy cable and it comes with low profile brackets.
I think this card is perfect for low profiles pcs, low powered, pcs intended for HTPC. Mine has barely 220W and is working fine, temp 42C-62C, fan at 52%.
Previously tried a 1GB card, and video looked choppy at best.
For those unfortunate enough to have one of those (SSF) Small Size Form Dell Optiplex (GX520, GX620, GX720) I can say there is barely room between the card slots. Contraty to the picture shown here in Amazon, this graphic card is actually very wide (low profile though) because the fan is bulky and protudes a lot. It may take space of 2 slots, I guess. After I installed mine, I realized it had twisted out of its place one of the big transitors in the motherboard, fortunately without breaking it. So my pc still works, without issue, and I can only hope no problems in the future. Also, it took part of the space of my HDD, so I couldnt put it on its secure attachment. I decided to leave it there, firmly crushed between cables and the case. Since I don't move that machine I hope there is no problem. All these trouble are, of course, not direct fault of the card itself but of my crampy case.
All in all, this card is really performing well. I can see in my TV exactly what I see on my pc screen, no delays, no crashes yet. high def. I can't say how well it works for gamers.
If you are in budget, not a gamer, and are willing to resucitate one of those old pcs get this card! Make sure you buy the 2GB version, not the exactly-looking and similarly-priced 1GB.

Using on LinuxBy P. Barnett
The kmod-nvidia video drivers runs this video card perfectly under Linux. It's a great card with enough power for modest gaming. Super for desktop or HTPC needs.
It's been extremely stable. Can't find a thing to fault it for.
I'd buy another one if I needed it.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 620 2GV Low Profile video cardBy Rodger
As someone said earlier. This card is a real PICK UP for a wimpy HP Slimline. It fit fine. Took a little time to get the low profile brackets on but all-in-all was a piece of cake. Worked with the HP 220W power supply and am playing Elder Scrolls: Skyrim just fine along with all other games thrown at it. No overheating or shut down after 5 hours of use. Beats the built-in Nvidia 6150 SE and visuals are superb and can run Dirext X 11 games now! Would highly suggest this if you made a bad decision and bought an HP Slimline. I'm never going to buy another HP as long as I live.
