Don't have one, have the 9800 Pro 128 MB. It's a decent card even today. I would suggest you update the drivers immediatley, and would strongly suggest using the latest Omega drivers.

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
