I have the same card and it is just *fine* for everything currently on the market. The key word here is value for money - if you have a fancy system that can calculate the trajectory of every dust particle orbiting the sun, then this card is not for you. If, on the other hand, you have the average computer with the average 17-21" monitor, then the this card has your name written on it.

As with most computer hardware, the law of diminishing returns tends to apply - spending an extra couple of hundred dollars/euros may only produce a nominal, barely noticeable, performance increase.
