I recently bought a bit older card, 4770, but I can run most games from last year at full settings. Only exceptions are poorly optimized games like ARMA 2 and GTA 4, where i have to switch off shadows and things. For the price its very good card, also dont forget that that system is pretty archaic, as someone said, this card is perfect for it, in fact you may not even get the full benefit from it as that computers RAM and CPU will be bottle necking the system.
