Advantages: good card for the price

Disadvantages: now superseeded

I went for this card when I built a new PC, My old one wouldn't play Oblivion on high spec. You could only see about 20 feet in front of you.
I also upgraded to vista so I wanted a a card that was direct x10 compatable. This card is very impresive, especially for the price. On reinstalling Elder scrolls Oblivion the differance was staggering. I can now run it on maximum and the clarity of the draw distance is amazing.
I also played Bioshock, which was one of the first direct x10 games. This also ran on max graphics and the anti aliasing was fantastic. This makes this card a good alround affordable one. Obviously it has now been superseeded by the new Nvidea cards, but for the casual gamer who doesn't want a bank loan to build a new PC then this is best one in this price range.

Summary: very good value
