    Yipes!

    Just upgraded my Radeon 9000 to a 9600 Pro and it is seriously dirty!

    Farcry actually looks awesome, rather than resembling AVP2.

    Gonna get a 3dmark01SE score now...

    Its not bad really. Was thinking of upgrading at some point, but probably not until I can get something that will do substantially better at a decent price- ie about £120! Just as much as I payed for this one.

    I only get 8909 in 3DMark2001 SE, somewhat lower than Geforce 4 Ti gets, but I think my graphics card outperforms them in 3DMark2003 (2430). Only £60 as well!

    Same as our gaming, but a tiny bit slower (sometimes)... and a rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish load cheaper (always).

    I don't know if we should be laughing at them, or the other way around.

    Got 10600 3d Marks now.

    Amazingly I got the RAM all the way from 250mhz up to 348mhz!

    The GPU is at 460mhz right now, but it's packet in next to a SCSI card so I think heat is becoming a factor. Once I rearrange and get an arctic cooler on it I think we'll get nearer 500.

    I'm very please - especially considering I use dual monitors, so that incurs a bit of a hit on benchmarks.
