I want to be able to run crysis decently well. At medium, medium high setting at 1280 by 800 at 30fps. Is the 8600 GT good enough? If not, is there a GPU that's not much more expensive that is good enough?munu9
You DON'T want to get the 8600GT. The 3850 is a MUST. You'll run medium + shaders @ high very nicely at that resolution. With shaders @ high, Crysis will look really nice, as opposed to looking like TURD when shaders are @ medium. The 8600GT at this point in time has basically become obsolete.ruuujthe 8600gt is a mid range card for CASUAL gamers it was never meant to run those crysis games out there, its also there for people who dont have powerful enough PSU saying its obsolete is ignorant..
I can't play it until i get a new DVD Burner,but if you want,i could let you know how well my HD 2600XT can run Crysis.
But if possible,definitely get a HD 3850.

8600GTS is at a similar price point to the 3850... and the 3850 performs alot better - go figure.

well if you read my post you'd see that i said its for those you dont have a powerful enough PSU to run hd 3850's or 256 8800GT's, it is there to fill that proportion of the market so you cannot say its obsoletePlease Log In to post.
