Well, for a start, Red Alert 1 works better, definately in xp and a little bit better in vista, unfortunately the scroll rate in vista is a little, zoomy!
As far as modern games go, Crysis runs at full tilt (note, currently low resolution at 1280x1024, am saving for a new monitor though: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-024-DE which I'll get in the summer), Left 4 Dead's max fps is the same, but the minumum frame rate is higher (lowest is now 59, highest is 61 on max settings at 1280x1024 resolution). CSS is no different and COD4 is a bit stuttery now, but I think that can be fixed by turning off V-Sync, which this card sucks at!
Still, most importantly, red alert now runs better, I'll see if this card has any problems with my virtual machines, like the 8800GT did. I thought I'd post this for those who have an 8800 currently and are thinking of upgrading.
Oh and apart from the first 2 seconds that the machine is switched on the card is near-silent
All you can hear from my PC are the hard disks and the CPU fan's low hum.
