i have a geforce 7300SE/7200GS ,everyone is telling me its bad ,and it doesn't support dx10 ,so i was thinking of buying a new card ,8500GT so is it good ? ,btw i have a single core

Well i think you better buy 8600GT...it is better, and i doubt price will be much higher than 8500

If you are real gamer, and want to play new games at highest settings, i think you need to buy something better, but if you are gamer like me, 86GT will be more than enough Yes, i have 8600GT, and it is kinda fast. Tested it on Crysis...runs smoothly on medium settings, i didnt try high settings, because 2GB of RAM isnt enough. Also tryed it on ParaWorld, FEAR...no lag at all. Since i play only few times in a month, i didnt tested it on more games, but i think it will work just fine

Soon i'm gonna try it on Turok...yes, the new Turok Good luck buying

Change your processor too single core is bad... Get at least dual or quad

PALIT 8600 GT SONIC is overclocked version.Also good results about o/c again.



80nanometre 289Milyon transistor
CPU SPEED 600
Parallel cpu speed 1200
Parallel cpu number 32
Memory Speed 1600
Memory 256mb
Memory Interface 128-bit
ROP 8
Interface: PCI Express
DirectX version: 9-10

You could always consider spending the $30-40 more and get an 8800GS w/ 192-bit interface and 128 megs more texture memory, if you're thinking pure budget card.

8800GS benches about 9000+ in 3dmark06 as opposed to 5-6k for the 8600GT. The performance in games is also higher.

8800GTX FTW!

Your cpu will bottleneck, it MIGHT run 8600gt but it definally wont run 8800gt. Even if you buy you wont see much of an improvement with single core.

A single-core CPU rig purely for gaming actually isn't any slower than a dual-core in a game that is NOT optimized for dual-core. In many games it is faster. It would depend on the processor speed and CPU family too, although the IPC (instructions per clock) of a dual-core is typically higher. Dual-cores benefit the OS more than anything in terms of "smoothness".

SRO seems to dislike dual-cores anyway, since we've seen so many people reporting that the processor affinity fix helps their crashing problems. (Although, fwiw, I have never needed to manually set the affinity, I just do so I can use the second core for other things; and on my system SRO ran faster with both cores enabled.)
