[Anti Zombie Task Force]

Right now all i can afford is the Geforce 8600. Is it even worth buying?

get an 8800GT

[globalenjoi]

Yeah, spend the 50$ extra and snag the new 8800GT's... they are between the GTS and GTX, yet quite a bit cheaper.

ATI HD 3850, noly £100, dats $200? They are great cards, cheap, fast, and cool. Great oc'er aswell, or go for the 3870 but its quite abit more, like £180(i would choose 8800GT over 3870, but 3850 is such great value. It's a great buy!

I think you should get the Geforce 8600 GT its pretty good it can run crysis.

[arsis]

get the 8800 256/512
or 7950s in SLI

ive got the 640, going for another one for SLI

i believe the 7950 is better for gaming.

please correct me if im mistaken, but the 8600 is more for running programs rather than games.

[Teknobry]

Bit of an old topic this, what did anti zombie task force buy in the end?

Hope he steered clear of the 8600GT.

its a great card for Left 4 Dead as it is past the games recommended requirements (taking tf2 and episode 2 into account) but its not good for long term use. but if u are not interested in running newest games (excluding valves games) then it will not last u very long. still a good card though.

lol at the moment, i am running TF2 on Geforce FX 5500 256mb lol... though as i posted in another topic, i am gettin a new comp in like a few weeks lol...
