So, are these things any good? I keep hearing people talking about how they're great for the price and was wondering if it would be worth putting one in my next machine. It's going to be a lower-powered computer than my main rig (which consumes way too much power and kicks out too much heat as it is) and doesn't need to be super high-spec, so would a card of this level be adequate for playing the odd game (nothing spectacular, just Call of Duty, Wizardry 8, Morrowind etc.) and using Blender frequently?
I've been so out of the loop when it comes to GPUs that I have no real idea what's on offer at the moment. Last time I really looked in to it was when I bought my HD 4870, and even then I didn't look too hard.
Any opinions on this card are appreciated. For reference, the one I was looking at is the XFX one with 1.5GB RAM.
