Old card is a GeForce 3 Ti 200 so I'm hoping for a real improvement. My present quality is not bad as you can see from past screenies but it's just so slow. It's a major negative on FR and eg ground textures just load so slowly. Obviously I'll load the latest drivers as always.

It's a 'refurbished' card from a dealer with a warranty and as you say well under
