For the price, it is a good buy. It is a middle-of-the-road card, nothing great, it will handle last year's games okay but will struggle with up and coming games. For your reference, the upcoming TES4: Oblivion has that 6800 with 256MB as its recommended system requirements. That doesn't relaly mean anything though; anyone with any experience in PC gaming knows that "recommended" really just means "required" if you intend to get a gaming experience worth playing.

Guddam but I wish we had those kinds of prices where I live. A 6800 256MB still costs about $290US over here.
