Thanks Steve Doesn't looks like an Ultra, ah, it's a rather ****poor card, performance is rather shabby! And 256Mb... on a card this slow you don't need 256Mb memory. The games that actually use 256Mb will never RUN on this card. So it's just a ****poor card, cheap maybe... but it's damn ****poor in performance! Maybe if you don't play games... then again why the **** are you buying a card with 256Mb..if you don't play games. Ah, the card sux... life to! |

And with dx 9.0b and the 53.03 driver + the nf2 3.13 driver a can play halo without problem in 800x600x32. Plus a get 1500 point in 3dmark2003 no o/c The next budget card that i would get is a fx5600 or a td version. I'm really shure that this card will do a good job in 1024x748x32. You only have to possed a good system like a barton 2600 333fsb that as some 3d feature in it + 333 ddr mem , it really help my Vcard. |

In many games you have to lower the quality settings to "****poor" to get them to run above 30fps! |
