I'm not surprised there is a lot of ATI 9600 users on steam. I got my copy of HL2 bundled with my old video card.

Yeah and i wouldn't be surprised the only games these gamers are playing is HL2 & Counterstrike - so no need to upgrade...:)

:yep:

Pretty much. I had trouble playing SH3 on my 9600 nicely, i'd hate to try SH4.

CS is boring now, once I found battlefield 1942 I haven't had much time for it. Plus I miss the old CS beta maps. Bring back CS_Mansion!!

Proud to be in the minority! DX10 and Vista!

BTW, SH4 runs as a slideshow on a 9700 Pro (my old system had one), which is substantially more powerful than a 9600 (8 pipelines to the 9600's 4).
