    4 of 5 Reliable Performance Monday, June 09, 2008
    Robert H. from La Habra, CA  

    The HD 2600 XT is my first DX10 card and thus far I've been pleased. I was rather impressed the first time I loaded up Bioshock and later COD 4 which I play regularly. I have an Asus A8V Del mobo with AGP and this card has filled the slot nicely. I run a socket 939 AMD 64 X2 4600+ along with 2GB of RAM. I have not used any of the cards additional TV features. It runs COD 4 at 800 x 600 with minimal settings and allows me on average 45FPS (30 to 90FPS) If you still have AGP this is a cost effective choice. This is also my 2nd Sapphire card which has been historically of high quality.
