cos it is!!! i accept that its crappier than other onboards.... still it can run almost 75% of shader 2.0 games(with modded drivers of course) without a problem.... so... overall from the price-to-perfomance point of view it rocks!!!.... i dint spend a bit of extra money to play all the games that werent supposed to work.... so its a good solution right??!!!!
