Unbelieveable
I bought all my new PC parts from MD, got a Phenom 9650, 2GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM and this card...I can run Far Cry 2 with all the settings ingame maxed at 1920*1080 and using 4xAA on the card end plus 16xAF and the frames dont drop below 25 at ANY point. This card is a MUST, I would reccomend it to anyone who is thinking about upgrading or thought about getting this card, at this price...GET IT NOW!!! Pros - High frame rate in demanding games, easy to change settings in Catalyst Control Centre, amazing cooling (only 48 deg c after playing Crysis at full load) Cons - Barely fit into case, quite a chunky card so I would reccomend having a standard ATX or Extended ATX case, anything else? No!
