I picked one up from eBuyer last week for my second PC (my old 6800 Ultra just cant cope with any of the modern games ) and so I thought I would get a really cheap card to see me through . It came in at £91 including delivered & it flipping flies , I used the auto tune feature in the catalyst control panel & it clocked itself up to 759 Mhz on the GPU & 2.1 Ghz on the memory !!! The memory is only rated to 1.8Ghz ... & it plays Gears of War PC on the 19" monitor with all the settings maxed out in DX10 mode with AA smooth as silk ... amazing when on considers this card came in at £30 more than the 7600GT I bought about eight months ago ( I sold that card for £40 ) . If your playing on a 19" monitor I can put my hand on heart & say that there is no visible difference between that card and my over clocked 8800GT . I will put it through the Crysis test soon & report on its performance .
