I haven't had any major problems with my graphics card.

It does tend to struggle at times in PRO-E when you have a part with lots of faces and edges mainly around the fillets (rounded edges). The model becomes transparent in these areas and looks rubbish. I use print screen quite a lot to get images out for reference purposes or for design reviews and that doesn't look good when I do that.

The resolution is more than enough I can get this card to go down to: 1600 x 1200 and I do use this facility sometimes if it's a big assembly then maybe a higher resolution would be good but I wouldn't use that very much.

I don't know whether this problem is associated with the graphics card but I get terrible colour differences between my screen and printouts.

I also find when I'm moving large models or 2D sketches that it is very slow to show the data/model again. I do not know whether this is a graphics problem or not enough memory?

To Summarise:
On the whole I am happy with my graphics card. My only comment would be the see through models are annoying
