It does get ugly in stormy weather, though. My verdict is your CPU will bottle-neck the graphics card, so if I knew better before throwing away 75 Euros for that graphics card a couple of months ago, I'd start saving money for a new rig. At least, I get to see some of the late LeoVampire's work in (almost) its full glory, and just for that it was well worth it.

Thanks for helping, interesting comment of yours, I never thought of overclocking, that may help....I'll have to check that out. The motherboard I have is suppose to be an overclockers dream but I am not sure about the video card. But one question, I understand AA (antialiasing, right?) but is AF the Anisotropic Filtering? (Whatever that means) I have something a bit strange on my video card settings I can set 2x,8x,16x or Application controlled. The 4x is there but when I select it, it changes to something else, it won't let me select 4x. Strange. Do you know, I don't, what this does?
