Should I Upgrade My Vid Card?

[RobB]

I'm kind of sitting on the fence here trying to decide if I should upgrade
my GF4 Ti 4200 64MB running on a P4 2.53GHz to a Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB.
Presently I can play all my games and recent demos with a decent frame rate
at 1280x1024 with no AA/AF but will I be able to play forthcoming games with
no performance lost and will these following games support DX9 features,
that is the question.

Max Payne 2
XII
Call of Duty
Far Cry
Thief III
Deux Ex 2

Thanks

Yes. Same or better performance with 4xAA and 8XAF. And you should see the
all DX 9 demo of Call of Duty play on a real DX 9 card like the 9800 pro.

But CoD is based on the Q3 engine, which certainly doesn't utilise DX9
graphics.
