video card advice

If it works, and you like the card, you got a good deal. Search Google for vendors. Look in FS/T to see what our traders are asking for the card. 🙂
 
why did you buy a card, and then ask for advice?

i think you got ripped. a 4200 beats that card in most tests and its cheaper.

I hope you know that Nvidia's 5600XT is actually SLOWER than the 5600...Its not like the way ATI names their products..So 5600XT is between the 5200 and the 5600 performance wise.

I think you could have gottten it cheaper, if you looked around in pricewatch...Ther are 5600s that are around that price range, which would have been a much better deal..

As far as the people you purchased from, i can def tell you that they are good people to do business with, i purchased few cards for them and they are great.

EDIT: According to pricewatch, you could have gotten a 256MB 5600 for that price with SHIPPING...and a 5600 128MB for 89 with SHIPPING.
