i recently purchased the xfx 9500gt off tigerdirect and should be in the mail today....... i have been reading alot about alot of different things lately (trying to learn more about the PC) but havent found much about this card, in respects to reviews or pros and cons. There were a couple reviews on the website i bought it on but only a couple. I have an xps 400 Pentium D 3.0ghz, 4 gigs dual memory ddr2(well 2 now but the other 2 are in the mail with the GPU). The power supply is stock and is 375W. which according to the specs the 9500 only needs 350. i currently have the stock nvidea6800 and wanted this upgrade. when i play COD4 with setting on max i get like 15-20 fps, on normal or low about 30-50 at 1024x875 or whatever that seeting is. Its just really choppy and lagging. im not sure if thats the PC or the internet connection. sometimes when i go to shoot it will take a second or two to start putting rounds down range!!i downloaded this thing from nvidea that tells me my temps and at idle the gpu is at 45c and in the game goes between 62 and 72C. I guess all i want to know is if this card is going to make me happy and make a difference or am i just going to get OWNED!!! anyone who has it or knows about it feel free to give a review!!
oh and its the 512mb ddr3 card
