I had the Evga version of this. Sold it recently, as it still had lots of value and I needed the money.
I was able to play all my games MAXED. Oblivion all maxed out at 1920 x 1200. FEAR, DIRT, Lost Planet at those settings as well. Ran Crysis with all high settings(Win XP) at 1920 x 1200, though 1680 x 1050 was much smoother XD
It is a bit overpriced as of now. It never really saw ay price drops for it entire life actually. Was about 500-600 bucks from the day it was new to the day it went OOP. The 8800GTS 512MB G92 and 9800GTX out-perform it by a tiny bit, have better driver support, and are much cheaper.
If you already have one, you won't need to upgrade for a while still depending on the size of your monitor. So keep it unless you absolutely need a new card to play your games smoothly.
It was overkill for almost every game ever made at the time and still performs quite well for its age. Crysis and Oblivion are the only ones I've seen even stutter on this card. And that was at 1920 x 1200 with pretty high settings.

- GPU (Graphics processor / vendor)
GPU (short for graphics processor unit) is a dedicated single-chip processor that draws graphics, i.e. creates lighting effects and transforms objects every time a 3D scene is redrawn. These tasks require a lot of calculation and would eat up all too much of CPUs resources. The GPU market is currenly dominated by AMD (manufactures ATI FireGL and the ATI Radeon graphics chips) and NVIDIA (NVIDIA Geforce and NVIDIA Quadro).
- Interface (Interface type)
Interface is the connection system between video card and motherboard. The main difference between different interfaces is data transfer speed. PCI and AGP are old solutions, which are increasingly often replaced by faster and more modern PCI Express (PCIe).
- Installed memory (Installed memory)
Since graphics operations require lot of memory, video cards have their own dedicated memory reserves. The memory capacity of most modern video cards range from 128 MB to 2.0 GB.
- Memory upgradeable to (Memory upgradeable to)
If the memory capacity of the video card is expandable, the maximum supported size of memory is given here (as megabytes, MB).
