    ATI 9700 Pro Life

    Hey guys, I upgraded to an ATI 9700 Pro the other week and couldn't be happier with how it is performing at present. It also has a VGA Silencer Arctic cooler, but i have not overclocked it whatsoever.
    I was just wondering, how much longer will the 9700 pro last with next gen games, before i have to consider upgrading to an x800 or 6800 ultra?

    Will the 9700 pro cope with doom 3 and half life 2?
    Or will i need to overclock?
    Or am I worrying over nothing?

    No harm in overclocking- just do it in 5mhz stages if/when you decide to

    Your card will play half life 2 and Doom 3 with no problems though obviously not at full, game box screenshot, spec. I would expect simmilar performance to farcry with hl2 at least.

    Have a go at overclocking. Plenty of us here will guide you throught step by step if need be and you'l probably get a nice boost- i know i did

    Most game developers only take screenshots in 1024x768 so they're not over hyping the look of the game
