Just a little horn blowing here prior to my question. :D I actually did win ATI's Colossal Contest and just finally got a free X800pro 256mb card in the mail today! I never win squat, usually believe that all net contests are scams but I just opened my box and saw a nice new shiny card! Woo Hoo! All I had to do was notary a form, put down my ss # ...ehem... my bogus i.d. theft prevention ss # ...send it back to Canada -'ay, and 4 weeks later I got it.
ATI rocks!

Anyway my current card is a:
ATI RADEON 9800PRO Video Card, 128MB DDR, 256-bit

It runs all my games usually fine ...HL2, D3, FC and any RTS I hit it with. Although D3 lagged once and a while when crazy battles were raging.

Is it worth it for the upgrade?

I mean hell free it's free and as they say, "IF IT FO' FREE, DEN IT FO' ME!":eek:

...should I just ebay it? ;)

Oh yeah ...take a guess what my wife thinks I should do with it. :rolleyes:

Ahhh sweet! Congrats there dude! There'd be no way I'd sell it. Should be a definite boost over the 9800!
