8600GT suggestions

[codename_romeo]

Can anyone post the FPS they get with 8600GT n 8500GT n 8400GS on games like COD4,Crysis n Orange Box......

 

[Who]

let me slove your problem without posting FPS , without 8600 GT you can't play crysis without slowdowns even on minimum settings , so in the list 8600 GT card is the only one capable to run games like crysis, COD 4 with decent FPS on decent settings.

So a 8600GT wil definitely let me play all those games ( including crysis) with decent frame rates ?????? i intend to play at 1024x768. AA/AF need not be turned on....can manage with those 2 switched off....

Buy a good processor(like C2D) first before buying 8600GT.

^^ correct

 

[nish_higher]

isnt pentium D good ? ?

 

[Pathik]

^^ Nah. It sucks.

 

[nish_higher]

EDIT-- yea some ppl claim to achieve that with air cooling only.


BTW Pathik--great avatar and website too..!

In Crysis i get around 15-30FPS with everything at high except Shadows and Textures and post-processing

upgrading proccy is not possible now...... after card the first thing i wil go after is a new mobo..... n only then a C2D

Actually, your CPU is hardly bottlenecking your system as much as your GPu.

is pentium 4 enough??(3.0ghz)

I think getting a powerful GPU shud solve most of the problems

It should but if you are looking to game at 104x768 then it gets CPU bound in which case your processor would eventually choke it.So it's better to invest in a good CPU right now if you need to game decently with a good Graphic card.

i'd say, get c2d e4500 now, & wait for 9600gt to launch.

Pentium D 820 2.8 GHz is enough to support XFX 8600 GT 256 MB.... No need for a Processor upgrade...

the platform you have by judging from your siggy,

Pentium D 820
D101GGC
2 GB DDR-I (Dual Channel)

is quite fine to run the 8600 GT

 

[Sinja]

i got D9215
1GB DDR-1
on p4 3ghz
and 8600GT runs jus FinE
gonna go for 1 GB More.
