Here's what GPU-Z has to say about my graphics card:

Oh and btw my monitor is a 22" Samsung 226BW, and I have a Razer Lachesis mouse and Razer Reclusa keyboard.
This system so far has proven itself to be a good purchase (at $3000AUD it better be!). It lets me play Crysis on high - therefore it lets me play any game currently in existence on whatever setting I feel like. Its nice to finally to be able to enjoy games as they are intended to be played without making any sacrifices.
