Thats more than good. Good enough to run Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 without a problem. Now all you have to worry about is a processor and RAM to go with that card, o_0.

Reviews on the video card that you bought. Just search it and look at the reviews. Reading reviews on anything that you buy is smart, and yes, your card is hella good. Dude tack, did you say that you got that vid card for 90 bucks?

well you need a subscription card and you need to have the card as proof when you buy anything...
so.. why dont you just go stand outside a sams and offer the next guy who walks by 10$ to let you follow him ascting like you are with him and have him buy it...

No Doom3 will play crappy on it as well HL2 a bit.
The FX5200 is crap.

The 256MB DDR ram is worthless in that card.
It can make use of the extra 128MBs of ram.
