should've at least got the 256 meg model or went for a GT.. big performance difference for the $100 price diff.

I'm going to buy the aftermarket cooler instead, and then unlock all 16 pipes and all 6 vertex shaders, then you can OC to almost the same speeds, and all for a mere 30 dollars.

Regardless, I got the card last friday and have been playing a bit of everything, there is nothing as satisfying as Doom 3 high detial, 1024x786, 4xAA 4xAF 60 FPS, or high detail HL2 with 8xAA 8xAF at the same resolution.

But the most satisfying thing so far, was reinstalling KotOR today, (finishing it up before KotOR2 "arrives") and maxing out every single setting on it, including 8xAA and 16xAF, and playing at a smooth 60 FPS, its a beautiful thing. I love this card.

My radeon x800pro is also a beautiful card... Antialias has absolutely zero performance hit on practically everything... and I can max all my settings, expensive cards rock, eh.

LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth's settings can be maxed on almost all computers. Its really not that graphical of a game.

/me feels that ScottJC's E-Penis isn't as big as it used to be.

Anyway, that's a great gift Hexidecimal, I've been thinking about getting this card myself, and I probably will.

I think anyone will find the performance of both these types of cards equally as good.
