    The new alice game runs on dx9 though. My 460m can run that on full settings.

    Well, that is good, but it would be cool if you could test other games, such as BC2 or something.

    SC2, your CPU is going to bottleneck you too fast.

    Sc2 plays very smooth in this card. No lag at all. I get around 50-60 fps average with graphics set to extreme. ill try to upload some videos of my gameplay.

    About other games, i'll try to download some demos... But i'll suck playing them.lol
