[QUOTE="Amen-Moses, post: 147326, member: 114"] Well the Breakthrough demo won't work on my new machine even with the latest display drivers so I cant go head to head yet but the X800 GT graphics card is absolutely awesome! I finally now see what all the fuss was about with HL-2, on my previous system it was OK and playable but I kept thinking it wasn't anything special but now with 7.1 audio, 1200x1024-32 with maxed out graphics settings it is just so realistic that the game atmosphere is completely different. Next test will be to get all the latest x64 drivers and then I'll try out Far-Cry as well. I have been toying with the idea of upgrading the G5 PowerMac to the X800 or even X850 (currently it only has the 9600 card) and judging by my experiments so far I reckon it isn't worth it. The 9600 can cope with 1200x1024-32 with maxed out settings with maybe half the frame rate of the X800 but there aren't any decent enough games out there for the Mac that require such power to make it worth the cost ... yet.
