I've brought one of these for £25 because my old graphics card has died on me.:(
Is it any good? Will it be able to play WarRock on high? Or CoD4 on medium/ maybe low?

It's only a temporary solution because i don't have enough money to buy a new card yet.

Thanks,
Liam.
 
mate my 9600 pro played warrock maxed out lol,Its not a very high demanding game at all.

although COD4 is and you will be lucky if it runs it okay on medium.
 
The 800 series doesn't support shader model 3.0, any game that relies on that support will not run. I dunno if Cod4 does, but I'm sure warrock doesn't. It should max it.
 
Haha, ok mate thanks.:)

Even if it plays CoD4 with everything on low. I'd preffer that and have it at 1280 x 1024 resolution if it can.

Is £25 a good deal for that card?
 
I have the Radeon X850Pro and that could play FEAR on High, so I imagine you could play on medium pretty comfortably!

My Asus 9550 only has shader model 2.0. But i can JUST about play CoD4 on 800 x 600 with everything on as low as possible with about 35fps.

In agreement with the rest them then, medium should be attainable..

Hopefully, i think you might be right though, in some respect.
I phoned up my mate he said when he tried to install CoD4 on his old FX5500 it came up that he didn't have shader model 3. So it didn't install.

I've already got CoD4 installed on my computer because i installed it when i had my X1950XT, that's the only reason i think i'll be able to play it.:o

Thanks for your input everyone.;)
 
It should perform quite well, my X800Pro is very good still in my opinion. But then again it's overclocked to 570/520MHz.
 
Would be interesting to see how an OC'ed Pro would perform compared to the XL. Theoretically and in real life the XL beats the Pro when both are stock but the Pro theoretically beats the XL with my settings, according to GPUReview that is. But then again it might not do so in real life.
