Thank you. Very helpful. Would I be better off buying the same card and doing that sli bridge thing using two cards or buying a whole new better card and only having one?

I have a Nvidia Geforce 8600 gt which i bought literally one year ago yet like every test I run on systemrequirementslab.com is coming up short for the reccomended req's for both of the new games I want (Far Cry 2 and FO3). Yet it says I exceed the requirements. Is this an error?

ideo CardRecommended: 512 MB video card with Shader model 3 (NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS + / ATI Radeon X1900 +)You Have: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT (GeForce 8600 GT)FAIL: Sorry, your video card does not meet this recommended requirement. Upgrading to a more powerful video card will make all your applications look better. Click the 'We Recommend' button to see some great options.Video Card Features - Minimum attributes of your Video CardVideo RAM: Required - 512 MB , You have - 1.6 GBVideo Card 3D Acceleration: Required - Yes , You have - YesVideo HW Transform & Lighting: Required - Yes , You have - YesVertex Shader Ver.: Required - 3.0 , You have - 4.0Pixel Shader Ver.: Required - 3.0 , You have - 4.0

Will I be able to efficiently run both of these games? The rest of my specs are as follows:

Why all the FO3 hate? Dead space looks great but the only thing that is holding me back is the controller issue. I do not own an Xbox360 controller and have no ambition to buy one. From what i have been reading, the controllers are really bad when just using K/M.

Far Cry 2 I will probably buy though...

Alright I am down to one (maybe 2) of these 4 games.

1. Dead Space

2. Fallout 3

3. Far Cry 2

4. Red Alert 3

We usually get one truly good game like once every 2-3 months but October is looking like the exception with all of these games being in the high 8's to 9's category. Which one should I buy and will get the most out of?
