the V5 is well past it's prime, feature wise, power wise and now it's getting behind drivers wise.....it was a great card in it's day I got it the day it came out paid 300 dollars for it and felt it was well worth it , I got my monies worth, but it's almost time to move on unless you only play old games. soon there will be problems with new games, there are few problem games already. In today's world you can't ask a graphics card to really keep up for more than a 1 1/2 years after it's release so the V5 did pretty good.
lets face it the V5 got a bad rap from the review sites, it's was better in the real world than it looked on paper
