Getting a X800pro refurb what should I expect?

[soulsaver_8229]

Ok, bought an X800 pro refurb off the for sale subforum.......

So far this is my rig:

3000+ venice (gonna try 2.4 stable thats as far as i want to go)
cruical tracers ddr500
dfi ultra-d nf4 board
160 gig sata maxtor
ocz powerstream 520


wondering roughly what should i expect if i play FEAR/Guildwars/half life 2?

can i expect to add some alright eye candy or should i not expect to much?

Half Life 2 and guild wars should run very well at high settings (depends on your resolution). FEAR... not so high...

I got one a while ago from ATI, and mine was the VIVO version but I think that might be luck of the draw. On 1024x768 in CS:S I run all high, 4x and 8x but in DoD:S i gotta drop it down to 2x and 4x but I keep its at around 60-80fps at all times. I also have mine overclocked a lot though but even before I did I could run it with those settings just got lower fps
