This card works great for a desktop or HTPC (I can’t speak to gaming!). It’s silent, it’s got DVI out, and it’s very inexpensive! I’m thinking about getting another for a second machine.

Just what I needed, a way to stream video easily to my HDTV. Amazing value for a very good product.

I am using this card to run my 55 inch 120hz Samsung with Windows Media Player. A modern regular DVD such as CARS looks as good as a blu-ray.

For what I use this card for, it’s been great with zero issues. I mostly just needed a good solid PCIe card for dual monitors with the optional HDMI output. I haven’t tested the HDMI, but the rest worked great right out of the box. As others have mentioned, the only negative is that the fanless (which is very quiet of course) heatsink takes up an extra slot space, so if you need whatever slot is right below where this would be, it’d be better to go with a fan unit.
Anyway, it’s been great so far! No issues whatsoever.

We found when editing AVCHD footage the video would not playback smoothly from the timeline in Adobe Premiere CS4 or Adobe Premiere Elements 7 on an HP d4100e computer with a dual core AMD 4200+ processor with a 300 watt power supply.
We pulled out the old video card and dropped in the MSI 9400GT 512H fanless video card. The video now plays back perfectly from the timeline.
We also tried a 9800GT but didn’t see any differnce for video editing, other than we would need to upgrade the power supply to 450 watts or higher if we wanted to use the 9800GT for daily work. So we stuck with the 9400GT which was less expensive and could run off of the stock power supply.
Most reviews about the 9400GT rate the card poorly, but they are rating it based on game playing and not video editing. A few other people on the web have stated that you need a Nvidia Quadro card for video editing, but that simply is not true as the 9400GT works fine with everything we have thrown at it.
So if you are looking for a good video card for video editing, look into the MSI 9400GT.
