what are some of the current retail games/demos that truly allows my new 9500pro to flex its muscles? here are the ones i've have/tried:

RS3 Raven Shield Demo
Splinter Cell Demo
Line of Sight Vietnam Demo
NASCAR 2003 Demo
UT2k3 Demo
NFS HP2
GTA 3
Battlefield 1942

I'm sure most of these titles are only DX8 but when will we even start seeing DX9 games/demos? Havent tried 3DMark03 but i'm getting 10K+ scores in 2001SE.

hey!!! sweet!!!! that matters for a lot of things! like...your 3Dmark score...which determines what games look like...when...you...play...them...?
something doesn't sound right about that. I'll have to think about it.

benchmark scores don't realate to real-world performance

i get a 3dmark of 0 cause i don't use it, but i do get good fps in BF1942 ;)
