im mainly looking to play TF2, Half life, and source games like that. the processor i currently have is 1.7 GHz. with one or two of these and my old processor could i play TF2 and other source games on this laptop? or should i buy a 2.9 GHz proccessor? also, will these even work on my laptop? (its vista home premium, 32 bit)
@CombatWolf14 you cant put a desktop graphics card in a laptop. so you can only stick to the GPU that it comes with. And about the processor: 1.7ghz what? single core? dualcore? manufacturer? product line? name?
Neither, if you want to buy for gaming, the best cheap card to go for is the 9600GSO or GT. Or if you want more power (you will need it for todays games) Get the LITTLE BIT BETTER 9800Gt and then for the average gamer get the GTX 260 or HD 4870. These cards listed are all old and out dated and todays games will punish them, but an 8600GT or 7600GT is just not going to work at all.

what graphics card should i be looking at if i want it to fit into a Mini Tower Case (Antec Solo Black/Silver Quiet Mini Tower Case (No PSU)) and be able to support crysis on high-very high? please comment back guys
evga e-geforce 8600 gts 512mb is awsome but i noticed it comes as a 256 as well can i sli a 8600 gts 256 with my 512 or dose the mem have to be the same as well?
Yeah when this video was made it was about 10 yrs ago right? And we dont need the 8600GT no more to do idiotic photoshops, right? Get the more expensive ones at $400 just to play games which in specs run at 16mb of ram, right? Spend spend spend. Boing!!!
I have to say... Get a 8800GS instead!! 8600GTS is still on the 128 bit mem bus! If you actually can buy a card, 8800 Ultra for $200!... 8800GS = $77, 8800GT (9800GT) = $100, 4850 = $200, 4870 = $300!!! No one should give a shit about this. It was used, because all the cards (high end) 8800 costed like 400 or more. They don't anymore, so there isn't any point of buying these low ends anymore
There is no Difference in terms of games between ultimate and Home premium. Ultimate has a few extras like the extra sounds and stuff and the bitlocker drive stuff. Ultimate is more bloated than Home Premium so games might run slower on ultimate but NEver Faster. Imo i use Ultimate its same as Home premium.
DX10 Is a runtime that is included with every Vista and Its the same in each one.
Just ordered EVGA 8600GT / 512 from tigerdirect yesterday, it has HDCP. IT's not the GTS either. I was gonna order one for the GF's computer, but they only had 1 left :(
Can somebody tell me, how come there are 8600 GT cards that say 512mb and some that say 256mb, does the GT card come in either memory size or have these been possibly listed wrong?
u can find a 8600gt/gts with 512mb gddr3 memory. Get that card in this case then cause i have ddr2 512mb of 8600gt and its good but u can see the slower memory speed does cause problems
It's amazing how fast technology advances. Only a year ago the nvidia 8 series were the top notch cards. Today, there's the 9 series and the new GTX series.
is COD4 a DirectX 10 game??? coz COD4 works incredibly awsome but when i play Medal Of Honor Airborne it sucks really bad... what could be the problem?
He is talking about video from Crysis but there is video from Counter Strike: Source on engine from Half Life 2. That game is working fast even on my GeForce 5700LE 128MB/128Bit. It is a joke or something?
I can't blame the talking head; he's just the 'talent'. Blame the producer(s) for not having their shit together. TigerDirect embarass themselves with such glaring fuckups.
No. Minimum System Requirements * Intel® or AMD® compatible motherboard * At least 512MB system RAM * PCI Express® compliant motherboard * A minimum 350W system power supply * 1 6-pin supplementary power connectors * 50MB of available hard disk space * CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive * Microsoft® Windows® 2000, XP or Vista * VGA or DVI-I compatible monitor
The Power Suply min is 350 Watt u have 300 u need a 350 or higher
Such a poor performance graphics card... who cares if it's DX10 compatible if it has such slow performance (outperformed EVEN by the 7600 for fucks sake)? I wouldnt take this card even if it was given to me. Mine is one of the top 3 or top 2 of the best anyways.
Those screenshots for Flightsim X were all bogus ! the DX10 pic was pre-done in Maya 3D and had 0 relation to DX10 - it even was stated from the original scource but none took notice of it and claimed it to be real DX10... so wrong.
that Directx9 thing would be easy as Crysis for my Quadro FX1500... but the Directx10... WOW! HOLY SHIT! my card cant do that :( but it can do movies.
I own an 8600GT 512mb right now, and they are really decent cards. I got mine when they were $169.99 or so with a rebate, and now you can get one for $100, so it just goes to show that you can't stay in the spotlight long with computer parts. As of now, I'd highly reccomend an 8800GT for $179.99 with rebate from TigerDirect. An 8800GT is better than a 9600GT, even if you SLI them both with a second card. The 9600 is just as expensive because it's made with a smaller manufacturing process. 45nm?
What does superclocked mean? Can you manually superlclock a graphics if hasn't been by factory?

I got mine when they were $169.99 or so with a rebate, and now you can get one for $100, so it just goes to show that you can't stay in the spotlight long with computer parts. As of now, I'd highly reccomend an 8800GT for $179.99 with rebate from TigerDirect. An 8800GT is better than a 9600GT, even if you SLI them both with a second card. The 9600 is just as expensive because it's made with a smaller manufacturing process. 45nm?
