Specs:

512mb GDDR3 HD graphics card.

Is this a decent graphics card? I'm thinking about getting it and spending money on a decent blu-ray DVD disk drive and wondering if it would display a good crisp picture and be worth the money.
 
Yeah should be fine. If your aren't gaming even a 3650 would be fine. I personally own the 3870 and its great :). For both image quality and Gaming :D

its a decent card but if you can stretch your budget get the cheapest 4850.

Carefull, thats only a good suggestion if he games.
 
"The latest Blu-ray and HD DVD movies play smoothly at full 1080p and your CPU is unbound for other tasks thanks to the Unified Video Decoder and ATI Avivo™ HD video and display technology. Enjoy quality to spare with resolutions up scaled beyond 1080p for the most processing-intensive content. And with a choice of digital outputs, you have more options when enjoying your digital entertainment"

It appears so :)

8800GT is it`s competition, varying reviews out there ;)

Spent waaaaaaaaay too much on building this comp already. Original budget was £400, very nearly doubled that.

I don't really game. I am a major CnC and Red Alert fan and I know that the 3870 would run them both nicely. Just curious how good it is for HD.
