syneze Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 9600PRO should do the trick, it performs quite well in HL2 benchmarks...even better than a 5900 Ultra when using dx9 http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html?i=1863 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frictionboy Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 9600 pro should do the job but i would get a saphire for ocing so u can get more out of it. My 9600 built by ati occ's alot, if i had a better sink, and the ram had some sinks i could easily occ it by 100 mhz on both of the two (500/700 to maybe 525/750) The 9600 pro does very well in hl2 benches thankfully Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
