Hardly. Its been updated a bit... and so what? HALO is called a "DX9" game since it required DX9 - but its graphics ability and performance are not even 1/4 that of UT2003 or UT2004.

The chimp is very nice, but try out the Gargoyle demo that's also a screensaver. It displays a huge clock that you'll just have to see to believe. Tell you what I'll just give you the file names of the ones I like the best so you find them easer: ATI-7500-Radeon'Ark ATI-8500-Rachel-Demo ATI-9700-Bear-Demo ATI-9700-CarPaint (Very cool) ATI-9700-Bacteria-SS ATI-9700-DebevecRNL-Demo(get this for sure) ATI-9700-Pipedream-Demo (this one is the coolest demo I've ever seen) ATI-9800-Caves-SS ATI-M9000-Island1-Demo ATI-M9000-Island2-Demo ATI-M9000-Island3-Demo ATI-M9000-Nature-Demo Make sure you crank up the AA so you can really enjoy these. I just installed my 9800Pro a couple of days ago and I spent hours looking at these demos. I was a Nvidia guy, having had a Nvidia card since the TNT days, and my last card was a Ti-4200. But I finally decided to try ATI. I'm so glad I did! The first thing I noticed was how much better my 2D looked. I run my desktop at 1280x1024 and it looks so crisp now! And the funny thing is that now my whites are white and my grays are gray. I always had a blue tint that I couldn't fix since I bought my 19" monitor 3 years ago. I always thought it was the monitor! Nope, Nvidia. Anyway I'm very please with my new card. Being able to play my games with 4x AA and 4x Aniso is something I've always wanted to able to do.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Showing off graphics?

I had the same, from ti4400 to an Ati 9500 Pro. Colors are much clearer... and with videostream the movies look nice. And yes it all looks just crisp! As they say already... the 2d filters of ati might not be ..matrox filter quality...but get damn close!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Showing off graphics?
