man how much this comes up. it goes back and forth between these two from benches i've seen. for this just go with whatever is cheaper. Although if you got the money just get an x1900 pro or XT way better then the 8600.

^do you mean the 7900GT and 7950GT, yeah the 7950 does really good and does beat the 8600 plenty of times i say go for it. 8600 aint doing dx10 well anyway so it comes down to dx9 and the 7950GT wins

no i meant 1900GT and 1950GT because you said ''Although if you got the money just get an x1900 pro or XT way better then the 8600.'' Because i can get a 1900GT for cheap.
With the 7900GS, the drivers are much more mature. I can't recommend the 8600GT. If you want a DX10 card, go for the 8800. TrueReligion_
nVidia's DX10 card drivers are pretty mature.. don't know what the hell you are talking about.

How about the 1900GT or 1950GT?
The X1900GT is actually better than the X1950GT due to higher clock speeds, but I believe both cards outperform the 8600GT by just a little bit.
trust me i'm not defending it buts because of some benchs i saw that i put it infront of 7900GS

man not even i would hate on that that badly lol. the benchs are hard to find but basically the concenses is that they perform "close" well say but the 8600 takes the lead by a bit. Still crap card though. The GT cleans its clock and much of the radeon series does to. I only put the x1900 Gt lower than the 8600 becaue of it being beat by the the GS in a few games but if your certain i'll take your word for it.
:D Lol i was thinking about getting a 7900gs or a 8600gt myself, I don't know much about video cards so I don't want to make the wrong choice. I'm not a hardcore gamer and don't want to spend more than $250 what video card do you guys recommend?
ah correct me if i'm wrong but didn't the 7900GS get 4611 in 3d06 and the 8600GT in 5350 in 3d06.
oh and to answer the question ealier if hiryu is correct get the x1900 GT, i'll defer to him on this one. the only thing i have to say good about the 8600 is that for its price and performance it is a good match but it wont rock dx9 gaming and certainly not dx10. its a budget card but i think the extra money for a ATI card is better.

so just get the 1900GT? Will that run crysis well?
[QUOTE="Hiryuu_"]3DMark means absolutely nothing. The 8600s do very well in 3DMark but the DX9 cards that got slightly lower scores still outperformed them.xDarkPhoenixx
would the X1950 Pro be a better buy? I can get a X1950 PRO 256mb for 135 shipped.
'll concede that point hiryu, and yeah get the x1950 pro its leaps and bounds ahead of the other cards and 135 is a great deal. sorry i took so long trying to play with old buddy but didn't work so well couldn't find a freaking VOIP enabled server. anyways about the msnor aim i dont really have those programs, i gotrid of that stuff a while ago because of the distraction.
