Good stuff, good price, should play pretty much anything at medium to high settings at 1280x1024/1440x900, some games 1680x1050.

 

[ricken]

by the way. someone said it might be cracked and get another 4 pixels. (24 total depends on the GT chip)

Looks like a good buy to me, for 100$. Ati's counterparts, the x1900xt or perhaps x1950 pro 256mb cost about the same or slightly more after taxes.

The vast majority of GS's can't but BFG was at one point shipping 7900GT chips inside their 7900GS's and then locking the 4 pipelines with software. If you have get of these, then you can re-enable the 4 pipes with RivaTuner.

That's basically what I am using, it's very decent for the money.

yep I just bought one of those at frys... hope its good enough :^\ . BFG has very good costumer support :^). I doubt BFG is still shipping out GT chips but its worth giving it a try!! go to guru3d for more info.
