Looks like something the 2400 Pro can beat, but it's not like anyone who plays games is going to buy a 8400, 2400 series, or below.

It's going to compete with the HD 2300 cards I suppose . The 2400's competition are the 8500's .
Another card that doesn't use unified shaders .

Amazing. Just amazing.

This card must perform as well as the old $259 6600GT, if not better due to enhansements that can be made via DX 10 codepath.



Your looking at CS:S at 1200X1000 med ingame settings with a constant 40fps with this cheap card.



Good day for gamers.

6.4 GB/sec bandwidth and a 64bit bus are going to slow it down in CS:S for sure .

for 60 dollars it will be a steal.think about it- 1600 3marks06.intergrated graphics gets only 300 in 06.well worth the money.

I just realised , that this card is actually better than my X1600 Pro card .

it will play most games on medium settings.My 7300le could play bf2142 at 800x600 all medium.

I'm still using a X1600 Pro card ... lol . It isn't that bad actually , but it gets beaten by most( if not all ) cards that are out today .
Anyway , I doubt you'll get any halfdecent DX10 performance... DX10 may run faster but it also has a hell of a lot more features .
