Should work pretty good, depends on what your playing, are you trying to play Half Life 2, Counter Strike, NFSU2, ect

robina_80 · 02-02-2005, 08:04 PM

your lucky to catch that card when newegg has it in stock, for 169 bucks thats a freakin insane buy!

Bigshow1030 · 02-03-2005, 01:15 PM

Are you being serious? I thought it was pretty good myself.....not to mention it came with games and so on

Bigshow1030 · 02-03-2005, 01:53 PM

As far as games are concerned I plan on playing games like call of duty and so on..........Half life 2 never even played it.........Wouldn't mind trying, would this video card not have the ability to play it?

ok that card will basically run every game on maximum settings, given that you have a powerfull enough processor and a large ammount of RAM......that card is not all that slower than its "big brother" the GeForce FX 5950 Ultra....overall a good find on your part

Bigshow1030 · 02-03-2005, 04:13 PM

I appreciate the compliment.....yeah I have a amd 64 2800 and a gig or pc3200

Bigshow1030 · 02-03-2005, 08:09 PM

yeah I am hoping with this card and 1 gig of ram and the 64 processor there isn't much I can't do...........normally anyway

Isnt it a bit late to ask for opinions?

LOL you should be able to play todays games decently, but the next-gen games, you can handle, just dont expect to punch the settings through the roof
