hi,
I got one of these for christmas, I installed it and so far the results have been good,but before that,the bad, first the "manual" is really bad, not very clear on using it,second ,did not install the drivers from the cd,as a new set were just posted a few days before I got the card(have had a few weeks a early christmas present from a long distance friend).after reading the FAQ on the web sites, I was able to get the card to work, the main problem was you have to "teach" it about your apps and games, I had to teach it to allow things like norton to be allowed to go get its updates automatically.

Now as for COx, so far its has been great removed about 98% of my red spike, get a solid green on netgraph.,I tried a few "lagfests"/ITF with it,and I must say the 3rd mission was never so good.almost no slideshows and that was with a group with a lot of AOEs going off.

also have been able to download while playing, I was downloadidng guild wars client today ,while playing COH and did not notice and rubber banding or slow frame rates.


currently the card sells for 99.99 , but my friend got it discounted from Dell,so it can be bought for about 69.99, and like i said i got mine as a present
below is a description of my gaming system.
