I am getting a new rig and it has to be under 750 and i am planing on getting a Geforce 8600gt 256mb card.i whant to know is this thing going to be able to play games like crysis and other directx 10 games on all hight.I do not plane on playing these games at high res.I only have a 17'' LCD.so nothing more than 1280x1024.is this thing going to get me what i whant or will in need 2.
It should work fine with Crysis, since the game will probably be optimized to the wazoo. Plus, the devs themselves have said that any card released in the past two years will work with the game.
Couple that with your 1280x1024 maximum resolution, I think it should work out just fine. The 8600GTS seems a little more attractive though.Â
yeah the 8600gt is only slighty better than the 7600gt and it costs twice as much. Â you do get dx10, but i dont thing thats worth it. Â overall the 8600/8500 series isnt very good. Â either get the 8800gts 320mb, or if you can wait a few weeks the new ati dx10 cards are coming out and then you can get one of those or the nvidia prices should drop.
