Absolutely great! I started a thread in the SH4 forum on modifying the underwater view, as I like the dark murky water. I got good advice on changing those settings, and also on changing how deep into the water you can see.

Where this ties in with the new card is in the fact that before turning on the transparent water was something I could only do for a minute or so just to admire it. Frame rates were impossible so to play it had to be disabled and even then it was very slow.

I keep loading up SH4 now just to look at the lovely water and the boat underneath it!

Bottom line: With what I'm doing currently the card is perfect. I've also read a post by one user who has pretty much the same setup, including the single-core processor, and to my surprise he says he's running SH5 with no problem. I'm quite happy right now.
