Are you really that dumb? I said I'm NOT buying a video card for it's DX9 capabilities.
Ok I re-read the thread and agree that you were not talking about DX-9 games, however I think it is a waste to buy a card that cannot play current games with decent frame rates when there are cards on the market that will, (not-withstanding the blatent cheating and covering up, that has been done by Nvidia)
Actually I would like to comment on the ATI cheating, For anybody who is reading this now and was not into gaming and benchamarking a couple of years ago. When ATI was caught cheating in there drivers they made the statement that it was only in the "leaked" beta drivers, and they would remove it and not cheat anymore. Now as to the first part of the statement I just do not believe them, why work on a driver cheat to never release it? as the the second part there was a software specific "optimization" in the cat 3.5 drivers for 3dmark03, however I am not sure that it was cheating short of the fact it used the program name to start the optimization.
If you are not buying a video card for DX9 than save your money and get a ti4200 it will be very good for your older games.
