Will ATI Radeon 9700 Pro be enough for HL2 ?

[Curator]

And 9800 PRO is beat by the Geforce FX 5900 Ultra overally so I don't know where you get that it's the most powerful card.

You obviously know nothing about current video cards.

Like I said before, have nothing relevant to say ? then shut the **** up.

Please explain to me how that is not relevent. If you used your brain you would not have asked such a question.

Lifthz it beasts 9800 only when it reduces image quality, without doing it, Geforce FX 5900 is slower. Plus price range...

While this is the subject i have to ask.
Will my "Radeon 9500 pro / 9700" support all the good stuff in Half-Life 2? I dont know if its a 9500, 9600 or 9700 card i got. It´s only says "Radeon 9500 pro / 9700"

edit.

i found some info about the card. Its "only" a 9500.

9500 pro should be good to go with HL2.
