Performance Notes

* Company of Heroes: DX9 mode set
* Crysis: DX9 mode set
* Unreal Tournament 3: 2xAA, not 4xAA

The only game this card could play in DX10 mode was Unreal Tournament 3, but, even then, anti-aliasing makes it decidedly unplayable... In Company of Heroes and Crisis, each had to be played using the DX9 renderer. It's fair to assume that even 1440 x 900 (or 1280 x 1024) is a bit too much for this card. It would be much happier at 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 800.
