I thought this card was a great offer. This is a good card for what its worth, and is SLI compatible.

So if your a gamer on a budget, this is the card to get.

Resolution and FPS ? :)

Res Im in is 1280 x 1024 85hz

I get a good 60-70 FPS when I run the CS:S Stress Test.

Not bad eh? Im ordering another to run in SLI!

Perhaps some other PC specs would help as well... CPU, MoBo, RAM, etc.

Anyway, is this really a "shopping deal"? It's a good card for the price, but the price is pretty generic. It's not on sale or anything.

:lol: Your Funny. That card will not run on BF2, even on medium/low settings. Are you getting a whopping 4FPS?

70-100fps in CS:S is very low, CS:S does not require much at all to run it.

Its a $150 card, $50 at newegg.

Where is it 150? How is this a Hot Deal?

Deal. :lol: The reason I am doubting you is I had a 6800GT that barley ran BF2 on max settings.

What is your setup?

I'd say hes telling the truth tbh. I only have a 6200tc (I know, it sucks) and it runs BF2 on medium settings with a decent FPS.

medium and all high are way different, with medium, the water looks funny, doesnt it?

Damn, 2.5GB or RAM? I doubt you need that much. I can run BF2 on Med with my 2.66 P4 Northwood, 1GB PC2700 RAM, and an Xtasy Radeon 9600XT 256MB.

Hmm, that is really strang that such a low end card can do that.

Its actually a good upgrade from my Radeon 9550. Couldint even run on low.

Your point? Didn't you claim it wouldn't run on low/med? I'm pretty sure he's proved his point, the card has outperformed everyone's expectations.

He hasn't proven you wrong yet. Ask him this question. "Hey man, install FRAPS, so I can actually see the 50-60FPS."

After he installs that and has the FPS going at 50-60FPS, then he will have proven you wrong. :)
