Video Cards Question

[Master of Reality]

in recent benchmarks on the Source engine for Half Life 2, 9600 cards fell behind 9800's by almost 15 fps. it still can run stuff well, but as long term, it could fall behind...god, technology keeps improving so fast. everything becomes instantly out of date
