I would call you a lucky sod if you had Nvidia.
I now pity you because you have ATI, Half of the games I have if they see ATI they leg it and it gets 0 FPS, Occasionally jumping to 1 FPS.

That's funny, because i'm running absolutely anything I throw at it at max.
I used to have a GTX 460. But then the fan broke on it, and it overheats on Solitaire. nVidia makes good video cards (GTX 550 and 460 are bad) but they're over priced.

It does great for picking out a good video card.

You honestly can't say jack shit about ATI... It always seems to get the job done with no problems.. I have not run into a single game it can't handle on max...
Thank you... Kindly have a nice day

Well I was testing one for my mate (I have the better computer so he was testing to see if he should get more components too, Akin to the ones I have)
I tried BRINK, It went at 1FPS
And I also tried crysis in-which the card (litterally) exploded, Luckily the rest of my computer was in-tact
