If it works well for you then I'd say that you got a great deal.:) Congratulations on your new purchase.:up: :up:
Ofcourse not.. I bought me the same card, so it must be rubbish. But for what I plan on doin with it is more than enuf.. and the 8800 is way more expensive.. not to speak of a 9600 or 9800

I have the exact same graphics card running on my computer at home.
My last computer was running a MX-4400 and it wouldn't handle the graphics. I built this computer last fall, got the card for Christmas, installed it, and have been playing SH3 v.1.4 ever since with absolutely no problems.
The graphics I have seen on my widescreen monitor has even made my wife stop and look. Its impressive.
The absolute best display I have seen was cruising in the Mid-Alantic and seeing the moon's reflection on the water. Man that was great.
If it is working, keep it unless you have a problem with it. Then get you a Radeon 9000 series.

I think it's safe to say it's not the best, but it's not bad for the money.
Then again I forked out for an 8800 which I'm happy with.
If your card runs GWX and whatever else you like to your satisfaction, then that's the important thing :sunny:.

GWX 2.1 runs smooth even with my old 6600 on a duomonitor setup and ure model is way better. No gfx enhancing mods caused any serious degrations in quality and speed til now. U should be fine for a while til some crazy modders release an uebermod.

If you think its good, then its good.
does it run the game you want it to run niceley, then its good
its up to you to decide, as you know what you want.
its all up to you, as long the card does what you want it to do, then its a good card.
