ATI and Valve got me thinking I won't be able to experience HL2 unless I run it on a 9800P.

Why the heck is everyone in a uproar about this? You can run the game perfectly well with a Geforce 5600 Ultra or a 9600 Pro. Provided, you wont be able to use all the bells and whistles, but you'll be able to run the game at a good image quality.

Edit- Sorry about the double post. Wanted to edit my previous post and hit quote instead..oddly enough I didnt see the quote brackets.

Why cant we delete our posts,anyway?

You can play HL2 full detail at 1204x1080, I think it was, with 40fps. And those benchmarks where alittle misleading. I saw on one site the full progression of the fps in the demo the hightest the 9600pro got was 350fps, and the lowest was what they put as the results, not the average. 40fps is not bad, but it was only at that for a few seconds. Just making a guess the avergae seemed aroung on the high 50s, on the 9600pro

Ill try to find that link.

Closed, you can obviously experience it to the fullest on many other cards...
