What a stonkingly fast card this is!
Bearing in mind that I am running an Athlon 3800+ and DDR memory, and the rest of my system is relatively bad, the difference is amazing.
I only run things at 1280x1024 too, which reduces alot of the strain.
Stalker, which I used to run on medium-ish setting with a lot of stuff disabled, now runs everything full and at a million fps. I haven't bought a new game for a quite some time, but it is just walking through anything I can find.
Was a bit of a lark fitting it in my case though. Had to remove hard drive cage and move the hard drives about, and then I had to unscrew the easy fit-type PCI slot locks (those ones which have the plastic thing that locks it instead of the screw) because the cooler was far too huge for them to fit over it. The card must be nearly a foot long! Its touching my hard drive cage, no clearance at all.
No doubt you all have better cards anyway, but I haven't replaced anything in three years so I'm pretty pleased
