Hello ,

I'm looking for a new Graphics card fro my brothers pc. It is a PCI-E slot and our budget is
at $170. I was looking at a Nvidea 8600 Card. Is that any good? And also I was wondering
if that card would run the upcoming PC game, Gear Of War, for PC.

This is the 8600 I was thinking of.


Thanks,

Sorry, but it really is an awful card, the base DX10 card I can recommend is the 8800GTS 320mb version.

The card I recommend is the following

It's 200$ but after the rebate it's 160$. It's a fast card which will not overheat because of the excellent cooler that is attached and should run quiter when compared to other models.

Would this be able to run call of duty 2 in full graphics and future games like gears of war
PC in good graphic settings?

I just noticed your current graphics card in your specs, unless you can afford a 8800GTS 320mb card or more, don't bother upgrading, your card is still quite good. The 8600GT would be a down step from your current card.

Um, James? It's alright, I was lucky to pick up on it!

Snippy - what card does your brother currently have?

[james_8970]

[Snippy]

Well I've only seen the 8800gts at no lower than like $300.And that card that you suggested in post #2 will it run cod2 at full graphics?

OK but the lowest settings I've seen the 8800gts @ is around $300 . And I doubt it will
fit into my bros PC.

I recommend getting THIS, I have that and it runs every game at the highest settings. It can also overclcock easily to the XTX version and above.

EDIT: You probably bought a card already, lol.

It doesn't matter that that card is a 256mb?

And another thing. I am looking to replace my motherboard as well.
My CPU type is: AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+

Will this card work with this motherboard.

Is it the same socket type is what I mean.

Nah I didn't already buy a card. =p

Im not sure if your CPU is socket AM2 it might be Socket 939 you have to check there are two versions of the CPU, and if it is AM2 then yes the processor is compatible. I only mentioned the XTX because I thought you know that its one of the top Graphic cards in performance. HERE'S a link.
