Hello,

I just upgraded from a Radeon 8500 and I was wondering if anyone knew and
any good games that could really push this new Radeon 9600XT 256. I've got
Unreal Tournament 2003, 2004, & Need for Speed Underground. Any other good
games that show off the new features of DirectX 9 yet?

Thanks,

Jeff

Far Cry can bring most PC's to it's knees...

Far Cry in 1600x1200 is nice... :-)

Trying to play net-cop are we, giving people your rules are you, seen
thousands like you come and go over the last 20 years on the USENET.

Try to behave yourself, and anyone from any planet in any language can
answer any question in the whole universe by saying ' google', it's a
cop out used by people who don't know the answer[s].

The reason people use this community is because they need an anwer,
usually they will have exhausted all their ideas before they get to
this place - sending them away is not helping but abdication,
abandoning them by sending to 'google', it's not helpful.

To anyone other than Andrew reading this, ask what you want, when you
want, and how you want, and ignore self appointed net-cop's whoever
they may be.

Sorry I am off topic here but... Well said BoroLad. I concur.

1. Far Cry
2. Far Cry
3. Far Cry
4. Far Cry.

.............. since you can play with the graphics options to your
heart's content in the Customize Option of the Configuration tool.
( The V1.1 patch even supports the soon-to-be-released NV40
and PS3.0. )

You can also bring your CPU to its knees when you zoom
the binoculars --- watch the CPU temp rocket up and the
frame-rate fall. Of course, worse at higher resolutions.

Great fun..... thanks Cryek for the most comprehensive real-live
PC CPU/Video performance benchmark ever. All graphics settings
in Far Cry can be recorded and documented for system-comparison
purposes.

As for your 9600XT 256... I can probably send you some
paper hankies...........
