It's a GeCube Radeon X800 GTO:

I got this this morning, and I expected a big improvement over my Sapphire Radeon 9550.
How wrong I was.
I bought this to mainly play World of Warcraft. My 9550 coped with it ok, but the framerate wasn\'t good at all. I fired it up, expecting a big raise in the FPS. Nope. I\'m getting about 10fps more. Hardly worth £112 now is it?
BUT, it\'s actually WORSE than my 9550! When I\'m PvPing (fighting against other people), it just cannot cope. The FPS literally drops below 3! THREE! This of course makes it unplayable.
Also, browser windows are flicky and slow when enlarging/minimising.
I am sincerely hoping the problem is at my end. Maybe I need to do something with the BIOS? And, the power cable from the GFX card - does it need to go to a specific place? I plugged it into the same power cable as my CD and floppy drive.
Well, if anyone can hope, it would be greatly appreciated.
My specs:
AMD Athlon 64 2800+ 1.8ghz
2.25gb DDR 3200 RAM
Asus K8V-X mobo
400w PSU
80gb SATA HDD
