I use a 9500, (I think it is) works just fine for me, I have frames in the 70's, 80's. Even in Ah2 I get 50ish.

It's kind of ironic that all of these fan boys start screamin' 9800 pro everytime someone asks. They always say the top of the line card.

That's pretty good.  What resolution do you run it at, and with what options (in game and in control panel)?  With the 9800xt, I run at 1600x1200 with the control panel options on and default vid settings in game.  Get about 50-60 fs pretty consistently.  Maybe that's low?

If money is not an object, get the top of the line card.  If money is an object, then think about it first.  Not sure why you have a chip on your shoulder? ;)
