Which computers have AGP slots? Also, my thing IS DirectX9 - my computer is only 3 months old, i cant see why it wouldnt have some graphics seen as it is so new.

I didnt say perfectly, but it does run very well indeed, there was a rare stutter due to crappy amount of RAM, but doubling got rid of that.

That's in DX8 mode.
There's no 9200SE, but I'm presuming the 9550 is faster since it's actually a low-end DX9 card.

You should try the video stress test in Counter Strike and tell us what you get.
There are probably benchmarks in HL2 but I don't know the console commands for any and I CBA finding out.
I get about 115-120fps.
ALASTAIR needn't bother commenting on what he gets. :' }

Thats strange since my 9200SE, plays with high textures, details whatever in 1024x768 really really easily. I dont think AA is on, but it works just fine. So screw you.

With Half-Life 2 you cna unlock the extra shader effects for DirectX 8 cards so that the game looks close to DirectX 9 only runs a hell of a lot worse.

As far as I know its DX9 compatible and ran all those games fine. (looked great to me). I think there is a DX9 one for slightly more. I only bought it because I was building my PC on a shoestring. I have absolutlely no problems with it.

Erm, isn't that card DX8?
If so, you aren't even seeing Half Life 2, Doom 3 or FarCry properly...

Erm before you go rushing to buy that card, please check that your motherboard actually has an AGP slot.
