So my 7950 went boom last week, so grabbed

Took forever to get here which kinda sucked

Seems ok for nwn use, but probably wouldn't want to use on current games. So far pretty cool and quiet, out of box on linux, win, well you know. I'll need to dig up the stupid drivers.

Took an hour on win instead of just works on linux (find driver, uninstall old, reboot; install new, look up error, reboot; install; reboot).
If you're doing games that are a bit beefier than what I play and/or you use higher resolutions (1600x1200+), you'd want to move up a tier.
Crashed on a dual ground-zero hellball, but not running the linux native client.
