tell me what you think, overall i think its good for the money, its actually a much better video card than it actually looks..

everything on my pc is running alot better now.. Ive been playing DOOM 3 with all settings maxed, 1024x768 + res and still get 60-90fps.

cost $101 after shipping, screw tigerdirect, a card like this from them was going to cost way more.. plus their shipping is expensive, and their combo deals, well they suck.. Anyways to the point.. this card is awesome for only that much money.

And fits all my needs.

PLus its purdy, slim design, and its red like my mobo, and memory.

£330.00 from my local PC shop. Amazing what you can get via rich grandparents huh?

For basic needs that's a nice card for a good price though, and Ferggsy, a video card or graphics card is for enhancing the speed and loading times of visuals on your PC, and the bigger video card, with more RAM, you can play more than one game at the same time with no lag, if you really wanted..

Why would anyone play more than one game at a time?

CounterScape?

urs is 250mhz faster so really mine isnt all that slower if you want to get all technical

I could afford a 1gb vid card if i liked, but, i dont want to waste my money.. a 256mb is all i need for a long time, i dont need to be making no movies like in a movie studio or anything.

The video card i was looking at was going to cost $1000+ U.S. but hey, thats just in my dreams, well i could have bought it, didnt want to though.. Wouldnt use it to its fullest capabilities.

The main thing i was concerned about was it playing all my current games at the max settings, which it does without lag.. and then playing even newer games..

Its really kick *** on Doom 3.. almost looks like playing an xbox360.

To be honest I have no need for my card whatsoever because I already had a GeForce 6600, and I played Battlefield 2 online high detail with minimal lag.

I hate lag though. It's nasty.
