1024x768, no AA/AF, details at High (not Max or whatever). 50fps most of the time, entirely playable, although I'd love AA/AF to be fast enough to use with this card.

6600GT when I can afford it, I think.
However, I can pick up a 9800 Pro All-In-Wonder for £80 and that's pretty tempting.

that's pretty much what i run when my windows/directx install is behaving (ie not corrupting at 1280), except i throw in 2xAA cos i love it so :)

yeah, i nearly bought a 9600XT instead of this, but in the end i decided to splurge, and i'm glad i did now ;)

The main reason I got this card is because it's the passively-cooled model, no fans whatsoever, and quietness is my goal :)
After about half an hour of CS:S, the card gets up to 65C, at which point the fanbus spins two of the four fans up to compensate- still pretty quiet, and the fans ramp down again once you're back in Windows.

However, money constraints at the moment prevent me from actually getting a better card. :(
