Whats wrong with this card?

Ok, i'm going to get a new graphics card as my geforce 7900 gt collapsed on itself.

(http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-199-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1402)

Whats wrong with that? Why is it so cheap? I want to play Modern Warfare 2 and Prototype and all these other cool games coming out at decent resolutions etc which I simply cannot do.

I have a dual core intel at the moment, i'll be looking into upgrading that to a quad core soon enough.

I assume the GTS 250 is a better card than the 9800 GTX then?

Thanks.

Heh thanks. I was actually just reading that article.

So all in; its a good card and well worth it...certainly better than my current 7900!

What are people sporting on here?

Just ordered a Sparkle GeForce 9800 GTX+, two days ago. Now comes to choose the proper PSU since my current Antec PSU will not suffice. More $$$ to spend. Hooray! :D

GeForce GTS 250 seems to be better in power consumption at idle (30watts) and 5 to 7 fps gain in games. I should have choosen that instead. Bah! Curses! *shakes fist*
