Actually Trig I go with ya on that......a shuttle is so convenient..having built Sair's little MSI Hermes I now know that small is the way forward....
BUT...and its a big but ...my Rad8500 was good too...my Rad 9600Pro is really lots better, buy quite a margin.....and the 9800Pro is so far ahead of THAT its hard to grasp.
I am very rarely impressed to this point....I have seen and used loads of stuff......but THAT 9800Pro in my PC was just phenomenal![]()

8500 at 275/275 = 100 points
9600Pro = 175
9800Pro = 250 in most apps......but 350 with 4x AA and 8x Anisotropic Filtering in IL2
The fact that it runs it so well, so smoothly, with ALL the stuff on.....gives it a monster lead.
My 9600 Pro runs some games with AA and AF set quite high...but not IL2
But that 9800Pro was unflustered by the mammoth load I put on it. Silk.![]()
