Re: Is this graphics card any good?

You just need to make the decision between the two major cards that
dominate the market. You will either go with ATI or nVidia.

Once you ahvwe determined this, then you need to understand how they
are named. For ATI, the higher the x???? the better the card. So in
order is would be x1900, x1800, x1600, x1300, x850, x800 and so on.

Here is the page on ati that lays this out:

http://www.ati.com/products/gamer.html

If you are going to spend that much the state of the art card is the
x1900 so you are better off getting the 1900 or 1800 in terms of life
of the part. As new games come out they will make use of the newer
features the 850x doesn't have,

Also try www.pricewatch.com for lower prices.

Also here is a link to a great site that rates the cards against each
other. Tomshardware.com. There is some specific info in this
link(look for next to page thropugh all the pages and also see the
prior installments.
