PowerColor ATI Radeon X1300 Video Card @ ThinkComputers

I'll admit it, I'm an NVidia Fanboy. My past experiences with ATI cards have been unsavory at best. Recently I upgraded my wife’s comp and had to get her a video card, I got an ATI for her only because it was on sale for $40. So I don't have any major personal experience with ATI, recently I got for review a PowerColor ATI X1300, that's what we will be taking a look at today. It is a PCIE card, so I stuck it in my main rig, replacing my NVIDIA 7800GTX, of course there is no comparison between the two cards, one costing $500 the other $100. I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of the ATI card actually, I wasn't expecting much for a 'budget' card, and it exceeded all my expectations. Let's take a better look at it shall we?
