Newegg doesn't ship oversea's to the UK, and that video card is not much better than the one you have now.

Online tests are known to be crap unless all they do is figure out what card you have and look in their database rather than trying to do a "performance" test.

To play oblivion I'd get at least a 6600 GT if not a 7800 GT/X1800.

My graphics card seems awesome for how much it cost and what it's meant to be tbh.

I run Oblivion on full settings, laggless (dunno what type of FPS I get).

On CS 1.6 people say they get low FPS, mine's never dropped below 95.

That's only an X700PRO, with standard drivers.



I doubt you'll be able to get either of what urban recommended for the money you have.
