If I were in your position, I would seriously think about waiting until the 9 series come out. You have a very good card which will last for a while. Why waste money on a GTX, (Which a new 8800 GTS 512 mb is much better for the money, nearly exact same performance if not better), when better cards are coming soon.
Um... You are all mistaken...miserably mistaken... I know from first-hand experience (I have one), that my XFX 8600 GT XXX will run Crysis at 1280 x 960 all settings high except shaders and shadows at medium. The game runs very smoothly at 40-50 in outdoor enviroments, and in intense firefights it drops to 20-30 fps. Because of the blurring effect, you barely notice it because of the action going on. If I were you, I would buy the 8600. For $100 Tigerdirect.com is selling the XFX 8600 GT XXX with a free Company of Heroes: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3048552&CatId=155
Trust me. This card has amazing value. Ialso run COD4 maxed out at 1280 x 960 at a consistent 60 fps. Company of Heroes runs flawlessly (can't tell fps, fraps doesn't work.). Anyway. This card for $100 is a steal. Go for it!
Well, it's not high, but it's noticable. However, when I put my headset on I can barely notice it, and it's faint. I just want to know if anything is technically okay. If it's just a matter of vibration frequency, then that's fine.
Could it be my new graphics card? I put in an XFX 8600 GT XXX, do you think something is wrong with the fan? I'm asking, because usually when my 360 started buzzing I would get paranoid, because of all the horror stories...
What does it mean when in Nvidia Control Panel, my system fan speed = 32000 rpm? There is also a buzzing monotone frequency noise coming from my case...
