  • WTF? this card is fine for games for evrithing

  • Can a CPU intel pentium 4 , 3.2 ghz run this card finely ?

  • It's also Hackintosh compatible. And now for 2nd Hand a good deal

  • this video card good for watch video in high definition like 720p and 1080p, but very worse for gaming :(

  • Comment removed

  • this card is slightly better than onboard Video card.

  • what about the geforce gts 450?

  • i can play alice madness returns with that 94ooGT (:

  • @snowflakeDS yep, me too.

  • its terrible for gaming , one question for everybody here , whats its length

  • @ezioauditore392

    hey i was just thinking of buying this graphics card....

    why isn't it good for gamin..i want to play mw3

  • @buzzfighter007 dude dont buy it , i have it and its TERRIBLE !

    if u know assassins creed brother hood , i played it on lowest settings on this card and i get a 20-30 fps without recording , i dont think it could even run mw3

    u should consider a 8800 gt , or a 9800 gt

    they're not that expensive , if u want to play mw3 on hi settings get a gtx 460 at LEAST , its for 200 bucks

  • @ezioauditore392 I can vouch for that.

    Do not EVER buy 9400 gt.

    I have it too and it's miserable. Thankfully i'm upgrading this november so i won't have to deal with this trash anymore.

  • @IceFried unfortunately i have it now

    im saving up for a gtx 460

  • @IceFried ive been using 9400 for a few years now and it started good compared to my old one but now im upgrading my pc and getting gtx 570 :D

  • @lnr30 Good choice, i upgraded about a month ago and i got a 570 golden sample, so far everything maxed out and it runs like a dream, might tack on another gpu later.

  • @lnr30 I still have a 9400 GT right now, i was thinking of upgrading to 580 gtx haha xD

    when i get the money that is ;(

  • @Waldrouk Nice, it would defiantly be worth it but if your low on money you could get a 570 like i have. I can run everything on ultra and maintain 60fps. Even on bf3 with explosions going off everywhere i can maintain 60 fps on ultra which takes alot to do.

  • I have a same videocard It`s shit ! It`s almost burning ! And the temperature is 50 celsius :( How can I change the passive cooler with a fan ? 

  • @TheZoly13 I overclocked it and it is 85 degrees celsius. I do not care if I damage my card, because I hate it when I do not overclock it. Don't worry about those temperatures ><

  • when i updated my geforce 9400gt 1GB it gives me a jagged edges in the Sims 3.then I planned to upgrade into geforce 9800gt

  • @evolutionprent turn aa on

  • @evolutionprent tnx it worked

  • @evolutionprent You don't need a 9800GT for The Sims 3. The 9400gt is pretty much similar to the HD 4350.

  • lol i bought this identical video card at a garage sale for 2 dollars, didnt know if it worked or not but ended up being the 1gb version and worked fine

  • is it good for gta4

  • @Danish7912 nope

  • kind of a stupid question but how do i find out my DDR and will it run minecraft without lag

  • @NishioHD LOL I swear any card can run Minecraft with no lag :P

  • can Galaxy 9400GT 1gb make crysis 2 playbele ?

  • @KEEVVY

    All signs would point to, not really.

    9400GT should be forgotten, and not bought again ever for any reason.

  • my old card was the 9400 gt ....

    i overclocked it to core 767 mhz ,shader 1880,mem clock to 495.....stock cooling at 100% fan speed.......no issues...

    i could run crysis at 1024 x768 at all gamer settings and aa 2x.with constant 30fps and so highly playable......very good card for 45$

  • i feel sad now, i've been using this video card for the last 2 and half years

  • well since its power runs from the moherboard id say yes, i have 750watts

  • also i ahve dvi to component video, its not working at all

  • ok this is fucking bullshit, i have this same version except its 1gb, i cant even use this piece of shit to play wow, explain that to me before i get a new card, yeah it runs for like one second`then pixelates my whole screen and another fun fact this thing wont show video on my tv which is 720p i have a freaking dvi to component video and guess what... it doesnt even show up on it. if you have a good excuse to as why it doesnt work please give me a good answer right now and fix it

  • @Salvince117 you has shitty comp?

  • @kramnahillac LMFAO NO, I JUST GOT DONE BUILDING ONE WITH A QUAD CORE am3, TOP OF THE LINE MOTHERBOARD WITH 8GB RAM AND ONE TB OF HARD DRIVE. Its crap though i cant even use the best graphics on my WOW, it slows down too much, but thats probably because of internet wireless. its not the best graphics card still because its still not working on my tv

  • @Salvince117 lol, the 1gb version has a slower core clock than the 512mb version, i have the 512mb version and i have it hooked to my hi def 40 inch tv and its deisplaying in 1080p

  • @kramnahillac well you think that but in reality the specs read the same on both of them, i dont see difference. How do you have it hooked up, with what kind of wires?

  • @Salvince117 I have a DVI to HDMI adapter hooked to my HDTV and my regular monitor is hooked up to VGA so I dual monitor

  • @kramnahillac ok then riddle me this, i have upgraded the core drivers to optimum compacity and it gives me a blue screen with these error directions in my computer while i play wow OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3 Locale ID: 1033

    Additional information about the problem: BCCode: 116 BCP1: 85616008 BCP2: 91302176 BCP3: 00000000 BCP4: 00000002 OS Version: 6_1_7600 Service Pack: 0_0 Product: 768_1

    Files that help describe the problem: C:\Windows\Minidump\122810-218­55-01.dmp

  • @Salvince117 this is fucking annoying too since i have fucking spent a fortune in a newly built computer and i still get shit for the fucking work i did so i wouldnt have a shit computer anymore when it came to pc games. i hate this i fucking hate this. and its only wow, its not some super impossible graphics enhanced game

  • @Salvince117 do you mean you upgrade your processor or you graphics card core? which probably means you overclocked if you mean your graphics card core

  • @kramnahillac the driver software i think, idk i says the driver update on the website, so u tell me

  • @Salvince117 hmm, idk then, could be a shortage of power, do you have a big enough power supply for the card? I know the 9400gt needs a 300w psu

  • Can this play WoW on max?

  • @N0m0vi0lence with good CPU yes! i have this and wow is laging a bit on 75% to max graphics because i have VERY shitty CPU.... u can run GTA IV quite smoothly with 9400GT with good CPU

  • can i play wow on it

  • @JOJOPOTATOE77

    Yes, but this is about $40 and you can get something way better for about $80.

  • What's the difference between this card you'e showing and the one I just bought this afternoon: "PNY Verto 9400GT 1024MB" mine has a fan. And why is there too many 9400GT (PNY, Verto, Sparkle...?) Sorry, I'm new to this! I just want to run Black Ops and Crysis. My specs>>>> 1024MB GT400 Video Card> 4GB RAM> AMD Phenom 2.4Ghz Triple Core CPU> 2TB Internal Storage > 1TB External Storage> 2 DVD-RW ROM> 600W PSU....

  • can I play Barnyard PC game :) I wanna buy this vid.card , I have Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family(246 MB RAM), and Celeron (R) 2.66 GHz.? please replay :D <3

  • celeron...lol

  • is this a good card to play starcraft 2 on?

  • @gatorhater86

    Should get something better to fully enjoy it.

    What's your budget?

  • @Usul573 Not looking to spend a great deal. Maybe around $100 or so.

  • @gatorhater86 no dude. I have this video card AND IT SUCKS DICK! i get.. 1 FPS and lag A LOT! also.. i can't micro for shit which forces me to lose all day long. I would recomend you if you want to play sc2 an 512mb Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT thats what im getting and it is about the same price as this one from a range of 50 to 65 DLLS i got mine for 52.46 USD

  • @darkazn142 lol, thats funny because I ended up getting the 9800 gt and I love it!

  • @gatorhater86 not the 9400 gt at least

  • why can't he check out the sparkle geforce 9500 gt?

  • 300W only? I also have a HD3650 and that requires 300W as well lol

  • is the sparkle geforce 9400gt the same as the geforce 9400gt?

  • @iluvladygaga4evr it is a gefore 9400gt, just made by sparkle :)

  • the PNY nvidia geforce 9400gt 1gb has a fan on it. so does it install the same way? just stick it in the pci and done

  • @BlackPoison2010 thanks man!

  • Can it play fallout 3? If you know please send me a message!!!

  • @PapaKittyProductions i have this video card and I can play fallout 3 with no problem

  • @Demented430 yes.

  • just get a 5670 or 4670 lol 

  • @allibowthepilot

    but this is $18 on newegg lololololololol:)

  • @Demented430

    Using the older Intel graphics? Older one were horrible at least the newer ones can actually play it.

    The GT 240 is more or less the minimum card I'd say someone should put into their system to play games with, forget the 9400GT and 9500GT, you can't complain about the price for the GT 240 can you? There's a faster one for more like $98. And there's the 5670 which is aimed to knock down the GT 240 basically. Whatever works. Sub $100 cards are getting good.

  • @Demented430

    Don't bother, for $77 you can get a card that's three times as powerful and can do MW2 great. They basically didn't bother to benchmark the 9400GT with MW2 but it can play it at maybe normal settings and 1280x1024. The card for $77 can play it at high settings and 1920x1080.

  • GT 210 or this?

  • @HatroVille

    Neither.

  • could i play empire total war with highest settings with this graphics card?

  • @thunderpeeweea yes you can play with no problem

  • people may not like this but its perfect when you have little money and youchange like me from a intel 945G (really bad) to this.Its cool.

  • i like this card i only need to get adual core cpu now i have asinglecore andistillplay games goodathigh settings like just cause 2and prince of persiasplinter cell all good.And HD films.The only thing wich is that itdoes not havephysx.But its ok.

  • this card sux so hardly.... i can play battlefield bad company 2 only on the lowest resolution (my screen is 1920:1080...) an on lowest settings. life sux.

  • Whats the different between 9400 and ATI Radeon HD5450 ? :) i dont get it , which one is better

  • @Drobenshaft dont ever get that piece of crap *400gt from nvidia .. it SUCKS i had one of those... i returned it to the store and bought a hd *450 from ati .. way better, i can actually play something lol.. by the way it was not for my pc .. i just used games to test performance although i know this cards are not meant for gaming... but just comparing

  • can u run fsx on it

  • Not ment for gaming? WTF?? I decided to buy this vidcard for my new gaming pc, should i still buy it? (It's the 1Gb version)

  • Did someone say to buy this card for gaming?

    It can game, but it's not a serious gaming card.

  • Unless your playing racing games of the 6-8 year old vintage which are still considered the best to date like GTR2, richard burns rally, NASCAR 2003, GPL etc..........this card is downright overkill for those games even at max setting since they were designed to run on only 64mb

  • I bought this card for my budget gaming pc ($50 on newegg with free shipping, now $40 with free shipping).  If you look around on youtube, this card works pretty well for what it is. I plan on upgrading more when I have more cash to blow, but I don't think you will be disappointed

  • Thanks! I don't have the money to buy a better one yet, i'll use this one for now.

  • Ah darn, even for $60 you can get a much better card.

    Still, not a terrible card or anything.

  • @Usul573

    like????

  • GT 220 1 GB GDDR2, is $60 right now.

  • no no no

  • thats on my laptop :)

  • can you please help me am trying to buy a graphic card that will run games smoth, and I have 350 watts intel pentium dual core DD2 so can you please help me to choose a graphic card that runs game smoth and it is 350 watts or less

  • GT 240 says it needs 300 watts.

    Should be good for most games, like MW2.

    It's mostly $90 to $110, so it's a decent price.

  • go for radeon 4650 for a low power supply

  • hahaha

  • shut up

  • is it compatible with PCI

    i am not talking PCI-E but only conventional pci plz reply

  • @bondanuj007 , it is not compatible with PCI, because the 9400 is PCI-E

  • after a research u to find out on sparkle website or evga site that they both released a pci version

    however

    now purchasing a radeon hd 4650 agp

  • i just bought it xD

  • i bought it yersterday

  • and me,few weeks ago,anyway which one have u brough?1GB version or the 512mb?

  • I bought the 1GB version....

  • i bought this from tigerdirect(DOT)ca except my graphics card has metal instead of that black thing that looks like plastic lol i know its not but first look it does just a bit. the card cost like 40 - 60$ CAN and as long as its better than my nForce 8600GS Onboard graphics i dont care if it doesnt play L4D on max.

    my 9400GT gave win7 score of 5.2 on win7 Aero and 6.2 on Gaming Graphics

    when the onboard gave me 3.2 win7 Aero and 3.6 on Gaming Graphics.

    it ran crysis 4 - 6 fps on performance LOL!

  • pretty neat scores :)

    win7 gives my Radeon HD4670 a 6.7 for both :)'

    its 10 dollars more than this thing

  • If I were you I would skip the card and buy the 9800GT.... damn I kinda hate this card.... cannot even benchmark Left 4 dead...

  • i can play l4d2 with the highest setting without AA on,

  • woot. I bought it :)

  • my pc specs:

    intel core i7 975 extreme

    asus rampage II motherboard

    2X asus mars gtx 295

    12gb ddr3 1600mhz ram

    2X 1 tb western digital hdd

    dry ice cooling for cpu and manage to overclock up to 6Ghz

    ~420 fps all maxed out in resident evil 5

    beat that anyone!

  • @rad57able FUK sake, how much did that cost?

  • Someone doing crossfire with two 5970s would beat it.

  • lying?? how much all?

  • @rad57able deush

  • I have a quick question

    my question is that if you have

    Intel Pentium Dual and u want to change it to a Geforce 9400 GT and if you do will it work or not? Because am thinking that if you have intel and not gefore it will not work but I dont know if am right so please answer my question. Thnx

  • it would.... what is your card before in the motherboard?

  • this is not (robofrog) \m/ METAL!!!! \m/

  • I overclock this card by 250 on each thing sept for memory and i run crysis on jigh sept for shadows and this card goes to 67c ? with no fan? that huge heat sink is brill

  • "its completely fanless... just like this show" LMAO

  • I've got the same card and it supports HD PureVideo. Will the HD work on a LCD moniter?

  • lol that one suks look at the picture of mine

  • the 1gb version rocks i have an 1 core processor and i play GTA 4 on high,cod4 cod 5 cod6,cryisis...etc with medium to high settings and yes 8gb ram:D

  • Videos like this make me wonder why one of my friends bought a home theater PC for $2.23K. Hoaly grots and zerglings. She should have watched this vid.

  • I've just bought this video card but I wonder why it cant display on my samsung monitor when I connect the dvi port... Is it because this is dual-link dvi output and y cable is single is single link??? Sorry guys, im just a new here and need ur quick good answer...Thanks.

  • I play The Sims 2 with the 1 GB RAM version. It is a definite improvement over the 6200SE w/ Turbocache and 256MB of RAM. I don't play the latest games that are out partly because my computer is almost four years old and I use it for purposes other than gaming.

  • is this card good....why its so cheap if its 1 gb video ram? what its pixel shader?...can someone recomend me a kool video card...i have like 200 dollars...but i want to do a good buy( price and performance) i and i dont want to spend 200 dollars....less i can...to play l4d 2 and cod mw2

  • @Edwin1095

    Dude this card can run mw2 at high at 29-40 fps, its worth it

  • @ihtesam

    call of duty 6?

  • @miguepoll

    yeah

  • You can get a GTS 250 for $140 at Frys.

    That's a 1 GB version and it's overclocked.

    That's a seriously powerful card that will destroy almost any game.

    Literally about 10x as powerful as this card.

    Though even a 9800gt which is $80 after rebate could handle L4D2 and MW2.

  • @Usul573 lol im trying to buy at frys a MSI HD4550 is it good?

  • no, it isnt, to play games, its pretty bad, you can play any games at med setting, with a bad framerate, or you can get a great framerate, with the lowest settings. get a newer better card, the 4870 from ati should be around that price point right now, although i got a gtx 275 superclocked for around 260 bucks,, its a beast, save up some more, dont buy this crap

  • Even a 9800 gt is a way better option for gaming.

    You can also get a GTX 260 Core 216 for $180, and don't forget ATI either.

  • I have this card, and I play games with it... No it wont play Crysis on MAX, but it will play it on mid to low.

    Also, I can play PREY on MAX, with 30+ fps. I have a huge list of online games I play with this card FINE.

    If you're somoene who plays alot of free MMORPGs like silkroad online, or Florensia online, this card will play those games on max, with awsome framerate.

  • @emnity33

    The thing with these kind of cards, is that you can score a 9500 GT 512MB DDR3 for $46. So there's no point in buying a 9400GT really.

  • @Usul573 you can get the 9400 gt 1gb for only $10 more so i think it would be worth it

  • @rbneville

    Wait, are you responding to my comment about getting a 9500GT DDR3 instead of a 9400GT?

    A 9400GT with 1GB will do just as well as a normal 9400GT with 512MB will do, it doesn't have enough power to really make use of the extra memory. 9500GT on the other hand has twice as much graphics power, with DDR3 it has good bandwidth. Still should get something better than the 9500GT though.

  • @emnity33 i will pla on medium high. not low, (depending on cpu)

  • i wanted to get the 275 too but its will be optimal for like 26 inch

    and its more expensive than the 4890

    the gtx 275 and HD 4890 are the two most valued cards in the market now.

    hey whats ur system? i am using the HD 4890, q8200 oc from 2.33 to 3.33

  • ive got a core i7 920 at 2.66 (factory), 6 gigs ram and the gtx 275, superclocked. and yes i had this card, it ran almost any game, but at crappy resolutions, mid to low settings

  • this or radeon hd 4670?

  • For gaming hands down 4670, for home theatre PC this is a compact, quiet, low power, and probably about $35 or $40 graphics card.

    Still, at lower resolutions you can play some games on the 9400gt.

    For gaming a 9800gt or better would be good, it's cheap now too.

  • Looks like at 1920x1200, and highest settings, the 9800gt will do about 35 FPS on COD: WAW, and the 4670 will do 20 FPS.

    9400gt will go under 10 FPS.

  • What do you mean "some games".?

    Shit I can run anything (except for crysis) at medium to low settings on a fucking 8400GS.

  • Yeah, you're right, at some lower settings, you can run basically whatever you want on the 9400gt. I wasn't saying it couldn't run games, but you could play some games.

    Still, getting something with some more power would be good if you want to do serious gaming at high settings and resolutions.

    But this card is $10, after a special deal.

    But someone should get a 9800 gt or something if they want to do serious gaming. Just about $80 now.

  • lol my internet comp is using this card and i managed to p-lay GTA 4,crapy but my gaming comp running HD 4890 and its amazing

  • im a casual gamers but this card is nice not so bad

  • sprakle 9500 is teh bomb i can play every game i have on super hight setings and it does over heat aand its very silent i only got in for 50 =) i have l4d ,cod 4 and there are more games like fallout 3 and stuff like that

  • what pixel shader dose this thing support?

  • Mine is a PNY GeForce 9400GT 1GB and it has full DX10 Shader Model 4.0 support, and OpenGL 2.1 support.

  • which video card should i get if i want to play battlefield 2142 and only a 350watt power

    please response thx

  • a nvidia 9500gt or 9400gt, both will be perfect for your purposes, but go with the better card in case a cool game comes out that u want

  • thx!

  • I have a XFX Geforce 9400 GT  1gb ram....is the same product????

  • i have the 1gig version and it does play cod4 and 5 on high grid race driver on ultra the last remnant on high and assasins creed on high these are the games i tested enjoy #

    oh and it cost me 35 pounds lol Sooo HAPPY

  • will this run cod 4 and tf2 on hight settings ????

  • Yeah, but on eBay, a company is selling a crap load of 8600 GT's for $33 that are faster.

  • NO.!! 9400GT is in Entry level series

    you cant play any modern games on entry level graphic cards so try to get at least a mid range series graphic card like 9500GT.

    but I recommend to wait and buy a new DirectX 11 card if you intend to buy a new graphic card soon.

    or you can also buy ATI Radeon 5000 Series cards because they are already supported with DirectX 11 but non of are sold under 100US$ i guess so you should wait till the mid range series cards come.

  • Interesting, because I can play Crysis on mine, I can play CoD4 on mine, exactly what modern games are you referring to?

  • COD4 is not a modern game COD(6) Modern Warfare 2 is a modern game fool. try on 11th of November.!!

  • Give me another game, I can get right now, that you consider "modern."

  • you know you are a totally noob go and search on web then you can find lot of Modern Games.

    ok where here is a list of modern games

    Assassin's Creed 2

    GTA IV

    Bioshock 2

    Batman (the new one)

  • Well, certain games get old after a while, so I stop following them.

    I played GTA IV before, it was alright, but at the time, I was playing it on an ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT.

  • so what else you want .?

    now screw you dick lol haha :)

  • nothing.

    no thanks, lol.

  • ok so this is my pc specs:

    dell dimension, intel(r) celeron(r) cpu 2,80ghz with 768 mb of ram

    with this card and my hsit computor will i be able to play cod4, and crysis and games like that?

  • What About Inno3D GeForce 9400GT

    Is it Good?
