Hello PC Forums.

 I am upgrading my PC's Graphics card to a Geforce 8600GTand was wondering what game i should get which will take advantage of my new graphics card. Right now i have a 6600 and play Age of Empires III on low(ish) at 1440x900. Which game will be good for me (graphics wise really, though gameplay does count too).

Mate, i'll warn ya now to play an 8800 you need a bucket loads of ram, also power input, anyway. a good game to take advantage off is deffo oblivion, a guy with an 8800 plays it at highest with 33 FPS.

Command and Conquer 3 seems good, I just got a 8600gt as well (good piece of kit from an ati radeon x600 128mb), I have put this to near maximum graphics on a mediocer system (amd athlon 64 3000+, 1gig of ram, and ide 5200rpm hard disk) and it runs well, no lag at all so far and that has anti alysing on level 4 which is really impressing me

 

Fear, Half Life 2, and the likes of those will be good, I dont know but Supreme Commander could be a good game for the new card as I would like to see about this but not sure if this will be great on my system as I heard its a real system eater, also if you like rts try Rome Total War 2 or simular name as thats a good looking and good gameplay in depth apparently

 

hope this helps :)
