Hi guys, I have an XFX 7300GS since 1 year and now I wish to switch to an 8600gt. How much will the performance differ from my old card after attaching the 8600gt ?
I'd play recent games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R or Bioshock or rather older games like F.E.A.R in high detail on 1024x768 res. How much frame rate will I get approx. on those games with the 8600gt ?
Thanks in advance for any help..

u can see the comparison here

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

The 8800 GT requires atleast 425 W PSU so u should buy 500 W psu in case u add few more hardware to ur rig!

Different cards as in?

U can use 2 cards in SLI of different brands but should have the same model number!

like 2 8800 GTX in SLI but not 1 8800 GTX and 1 8800 GTS!

^^They are not just making up their reviews. ASUS 8600GT performs so well because the card is factory overclocked and ASUS is known for good quality products.

256 mb with ddr3 ram is better. The mid range cards don't benefit from that much ram.

AFAIK...there shouldn't be nay issues....like i have ATi chipset nad i am using nVidia card....but it is Gainward not sparkle.
Acc. to me the only thing matters is chipset of ur card...it doesn't matter if it is of what brand. If ur chip sports it, no issues regardless of what brand u own.
But if u still confuse then buy XFX or ASUS or any other brand!

u'll get HDCP even in XFX 8600GT Fatal1ty Edition (afaik it costs bout 8.5-9k).
u wont get HDCP content in India for the next 2-3yrs.also u wont hav a Blu-ray or HD dvd player so no question of HDCP content even if its available.if u wanna spend bout 10k on 8600GTS then better get a 8800GTS 320MB (try shops which hav old stock).
