A few months back I also purchased a R9800P, mainly because I only had a maximum budget of $200 to spend on both a card and cooler, and the Radeon was simply the best option in my price range. Plus, I'm building a new A64 rig next year, so no need to go wild on another AGP card when PCI-E will be "mainstream"..
Doom3 and FarCry will choke this card if I crank the settings to the max and jack the resolution up past
1024x768, but thaaaaaat's about it.. not bad for $150 (Sapphire refurb from newegg).
