what gfx card did ya get agent?

I got the Radeon 4770. It just came out on wednesday, and I just got it in my system about an hour ago. It's VERY nice for a $99 card. Here are some stats (though I never use any AA/AF crap.. overrated imo):

I took a benchmark of Fallout 3 on ultra settings in an exterior area with my 8600GT, and took one now with the new card.
I went from:
Avg: 9.092 - Min: 6 - Max: 19 with the 8600GT      .......to
Avg: 53.550 - Min: 33 - Max: 65 with the 4770

I'm getting a steady 170+fps in UT3 with everything maxed at 1680x1050

And Crysis Warhead runs ~40 at max settings.


So yeah, I'm happy. Damn slick little card for under $100.
Very nice indeed. Congrats on finding a winner.
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!
