from that call of juarez benchmark it looks like it scales very well with anti-aliasing at high res

it only dropped 3 fps from the 1920 2x AA vs 1920 with 4x AA

oh, and 14.5k 3dmark06 is pretty nice - thats like 9800 GTX level ? on an average cpu.

nice. the cooling solution might be a draw back but then the duel slot design from ati IMO didnt move much air out of the case.

1.It is capable of running crysis at 1680 x 1050 in dx10 with settings on high, frames rarely dip below 30 and the game actually feels smooth, quite an accomplishment in a single slot mid range card especially at this price point.

2.The card performs flawlessly, however out of the box the GPU was registering 79c at idle in catalyst overdrive window, after changing thermal paste and re-installing temps are more like 55 - 60c idle and load temperatures are also much improved. With the heat taken care of I tried Catalyst’s built in overclocking utility which allows up to 700 core and 1200 memory clocks, I tried 700/ 1100 and found it to be stable for bench testing and the hour of crisis I played.
