Benchmark framerate: 95fps
Man! i can only dream bout getting that kinda framerate. ive benched my 5200 at 36fps max with no shadows, even after overclocking 2 l max

Does anybody know if x2 can display the framerate in game?

To show the framerate, download and install a utility called "Fraps". A quick net search should locate it pretty easily.

it cost me £180 when it first came out.

ITS CRAP!!! apart from DX9 eye candy, my old rad 9500 knocks seven shades out of it.

and my Ti4600 (one of my all time favorites) eats it for breakfast.

my FX5600 will O/C to 362 core 465 mem (with extra cooling) and its performance is "bareable" (and i use that word loosely...)
I have an FX5600 XT 128mb. As I understand it, this is a clocked down FX5900 GPU. That would mean that it had the new command functions but not as much raw speed.

It works fine for X2 except in very crowded battles. I think X2 depends a lot on the new commands in DirectX9.0, so the new GPU helps more than clock speed does.
