My father recently went out and randomly bought this card and i was wondering if it was anygood? I might take it back and i dont want to open the packaging.

If your a gamer, its a bit on the weak side.

While that is true, I would say that it is not a bad card for the $$. It should run most of what is out there right now.

If you enjoy games at 640 X 480 with all settings on low its fine I guess. I have one of these in a 1800+ AMD system and its so slow its unplayable in UT2004, etc.

I didn't want to be the first to say it, rather bad cards. I would have gotten a Ti-4200+. 9500Pro-9600XT are pretty good cheap solutions too. If must get ATi, the 9100 I think is a 8500+ but better, and those are ALMOST as good as the Ti-4200....
