Nope, 1GB of VRAM on that card is a gimmick and it's a poor buy for retail or even probably off eBay or at a reduced price.

That's not a good deal at all. Don't pay that extra cash for the 1GB -version. You'll be fine with the cheaper, 512MB -version, for sure. It'll run Dawn of War 2 easily.

It's neither "strong" nor "performance", it is a HTPC card. It's true that it will run DoW2 due to DoW2 having hilariously low system requirements but if the OP wants to throw his money away on a poor budget card he could get something like a 7900 for the same price that's a better card.
