i think it would be decent bro nothing fancy here but if the rest of ya specs are good you should be able to play most............ now that don't mean 60 fps every game try a lil older stuff to see this shine like AVP2 wolfenstein quake 3 I bet it will do BF 2 decent go for it just 50

X1050 is utterly terrible. Look at it like this:

The X1 is the series, and the 050 is the model number.

The X1 series contains the following:

X1050
X1300
X1600
X1650
X1800
X1900
X1950

With X1950 being the best and X1050 the worst. Even some of the X1600s are terrible, so that gives you an idea of how bad an X1050 is...

Like the guy said, That card will shine in older games,, like AVP2 Q3 etc etc,

The newer DX9 based games will be utterly slow. You can make it look very good, as good as a higher end card, but the framerates will be 50 to 70 percent slower.

Best thing is see if you can get a 1650 for 100ish or soo. gl,

I would suggest a eVGA e-GeForce 8500 GT.
