What 7 series card can compare to the 8600 GT?

topic.

Actually its closer to between the 7800GT and 7900GS...mbukste

Which is excellent, because if I remember correctly, it draws about the same amount of power as a 7600GT.

7600GT runs about the same as the 8600GT on older games (HL2, CoD2, etc). 8600GT is better for games with heavier shader requirements (Supreme Commander, CoH).

As for overclocking. The 7600GT has a known volt-mod that allows it to get up to 620/850. I'm not sure if the same is for the 8600GT.

7800gs or unfortunately in some cases, 7600gt.imrlybord7

Makes no sense, because the 7600GT is better than the 7800GS.

The 8600GT performs something like a 7800GT, a bit better or worse depending on the game.

Nope, they consume about the same amount of power. Around 40Ws.

Just for arguments sake that's close to what the OC'dXFX 8600 GTXXXis out of the box. I still haven't tried to OC it more though to see how high it would go but some reviews I've read are favorable.

My GPU experience...

I have a 512mb 6800 GPU on my old PC (Win XP Pro on a sempron 2600+) and a 256mb 8600GT GPU (Win Vista on a E6320) on my new rig.

I can only run Quake 4 on a resolution of 640 x 480 on both GPU's/rigs. :shock:zenzen

Hmmm actually i am buying a new PC and am thinking about geting the 8600 GTS.Your comments worry me though.

zenzen must have like 2 kb of ram or glitchy softwareimrlybord7
