The PowerColor X1550 512MB videocard provides decent framerates at 10224x768 if you wanted to play FarCry. 1600x1200 is a bit too much for this GPU however.

Framerates in SplinterCell: Chaos Theory at 1024x768 with SM1 are not too bad. The game has borderline acceptable framerates. At higher resolutions or with SM3.0 enabled, framerates are just too low.
