You're outdated, .Sup. The 8600 series is actually quite good nowmore. It was just crappy drivers that held it back in the early months, and that hirt the line's reputation a lot. From 8600GT being about equal to 7600GS/GT and 8600GTS being about equal to 7600GT/7800GS, they're both about twice as fast as their counterparts. Seeing how op has a P4, it'd create a pretty balanced system. One 8600GT can perform about 5k in 3DMark06. My 3870+P4 can squeeze out 6k8, and that's a P4 clocked 1.2GHz faster than his..Sup wrote:
Nope, i'd never recommend that card. 3850 is better.
I am happy with the price. If it's a little bit slower, I don't mind.
An 8800GS is not worth paying twice as much for as an 8600GT DDR3. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6814125070The#1Spot wrote:

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
It's my trade mark. Have a look at my karma's, I got 3 of em for mis spelling seagate. Works for me xDunnamednewbie13 wrote:

Sorry to bother you with this again, but when I tried to buy it online, I couldn't figure out if I am supposed get the 512MB or 256MB. It also says "Built for Windows Vista". It mentions it being made for Vista 4+ times. Does that mean that it won't work for XP?
It will definately 100% work with XP, they just try to promote vista more by saying that.Deadmonkiefart wrote:

For the low/mid-end cards like the 8600s, go for 256.Deadmonkiefart wrote:

Definitely. 512mb versions are DDR2 and thus perform a lot less.Freezer7Pro wrote:

Most of them, yes, but the few DDR3 versions there are, are overpriced, and poorly performing (cheap RAM modules)DeathUnlimited wrote:
