Hi everyone i want to know really how good is the Zogis 8600gt , im asking because is the better card i found for an affordable price. I really want to play games like World in Conflict or the upcoming Starcraft II.

So is this card enough? Or should i save money for a better one?...

Thanks in advance

i wouldn't really recommend it anymore, the 3850 is a better card for the price. but for under 100 i guess its ok.

I would rather get the 2600XT for the same price. I am pretty sure it outperforms the 8600 GT. But you really are better off saving the money and get the 3850 HD 256 MB as it out perofrms the 8600 GT twice as much and is only $50 more.

For a little more you could get the 3850 and greatly increase your performence. If you need a sub-$100 card I would reccomend one from last generation.

WiC will play well, Starcraft 2 will also but you may have to turn the settings down. It all depends on what res you'll be playing at.
