so, my old computer broke and my new computer cant fit a Geforece 8800GTS inside (case is barely too small).

my friend offered to trade me fore his 8600GT, which i know isnt as good.

can an 8600GT run crysis if its overclocked properly?

and how do i overclock it properly!?

EDIT:

6GB DDR2 RAM

Quad core 1.8GHz

Windows vista home premium x64

I would also recommend to download CCC 2.21 mod for crysis, its MUCH better optiomised and you will get better visual & performence.

there are some videos with people running it at max setting with good FPS, are they doing something special or does the rest of my computer just suck?

As long as you match it with a good dual core processor that card should be able to manage medium settings at a 1024x768 resolution with average 25 fps and no AA.

I hope you aren't trading for keeps, just temporarily because he's basically stealing from you. The 8600gt will run crysis. Put rez @ 1024x768 and settings to medium.

You should try to mod the case, the 8800GT is almost as big as the 8800GTS and the 9500 is worst than the 8600GT.

Cut a hole through the case, make sure the hole is big enough for the card, then stick it in there. The card should stick out, but then cover that part with some plastic or something... be creative!

There is a much better card than the 8800GTS.

Sapphire HD4850 dualslot fansink, with re-designed PCB, it's shorter than the stock card.

It should have the same length as the 8600GT.

This is your best opt.

I have a 7600GT in my current computer (upgrading very soon) and it plays Crysis. All depends on how you want it to look :D
