<div dir="ltr">I'm looking at upgrading my video card. I currently run an ATI X800 Pro PCI-E x16 under Ubuntu 8.04. I give this card at best a 6 out of 10 for quality and functionality under Ubuntu. I cannot at all use a composite window manager, and play 3d accel games at the same time which would be nice. I always have to disable the composite exstentions to get 3daccel to work for games.<br>

<br>Any thoughts?

Do the specs match what you need? To get it near your price point? Maybe. Lots of Google.<br>
<br>Used card that new? Not likely.<br><br><br>Jim</div>
