I finally got the card on Sunday. And it is awesome. I get 200+ frame rate on HL2!!! It is way better than the 30 I used to get with the onboard graphics card. Anyway, I only wrote this blog now, because I have been too busy playing HL2, Ep2 and TF2. 8) Pure gaming awesomness... :D. I got a 8500 3D Mark 06 Score!!! 8)

Oh yeah, anyone who reads this, can you message me for some good modern (as in AFTER 2005, OR 2004 with good graphics.) FPS that I would be able to play with this rig:

Intel Core 2 Quad at 2.4ghz

3gb of RAM

9600 GT 512mb with GDDR3 memory.

Happy Gaming

P.S. Don't say Crysis for my FPS question. I already want to test out my card on it. :P

Yes, I am finally getting my new 9600 GT from Gigabyte. Until now, I have been using an onboard graphics chip (pitiful, I know) :roll: but I just got a new computer and with the Q6600 that I got, I couldn't afford it. (I'm only fourteen.) 8)

I only got a pitiful 25 frames on HL2, but am now expecting to become dizzy from the 80 plus frames I should get. Oh, and I am really looking foward to Bioshock. I want to see what the scary dentist is all about... :(
