| 707305 | 2008-09-24 00:07:00 | Hello I am thinking of buying an Asus eah3650 Silent Magic video card. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this card and could tell me if it's a good choice? I intend to game and use design software on it. |

| 707306 | 2008-09-24 01:15:00 | Not for gaming. you'd want an 48xx card. | pctek (84) | ||
| 707307 | 2008-09-24 02:25:00 | You reckon 3650 chipset is not good for gaming? 48 series is a little out of my price range. 3850 is probably for me. Or my friend says nVidia 8800. | sammo450 (13626) | ||
| 707308 | 2008-09-24 03:09:00 | Or my friend says nVidia 8800. Yeah 8800 series would be OK. |

| 707309 | 2008-09-24 03:16:00 | The cheapest 8800GT is only $60 cheaper than the cheapest 4850 on pricespy... If it were me I'd go for a bit extra. | Thebananamonkey (7741) | ||
| 707310 | 2008-09-24 20:07:00 | I have a 512mb ASUS EN8600GT Silent in a machine here & although only 540Mhz it has been running 'sweet as' with COD4, Crysis, video prod work (Avid Liquid & Prem Pro)etc. Doesn't seem to run too hot either. I think from memory it was only about $125. (@1680 x 1050 px) | fnphoto (2434) | ||
| 707311 | 2008-09-25 02:20:00 | Ok thanks I have been looking at a silent asus 9600gt card which looks pretty damn good for $220. | sammo450 (13626) | ||
| 707312 | 2008-09-25 02:52:00 | I have a 512mb ASUS EN8600GT Silent in a machine here & although only 540Mhz it has been running 'sweet as' with COD4, Crysis, video prod work (Avid Liquid & Prem Pro)etc. Doesn't seem to run too hot either. I think from memory it was only about $125. (@1680 x 1050 px) That 86GT would definitely struggle @ that resolution!, there isnt much room at that res with my 96GT... |

| 707313 | 2008-09-29 01:02:00 | Would the 86GT run 3DSMAX 2009 ok? I like playing around with demanding software. I think in games 1280x1024 would be perfectly fine for me as I currently run all my games at 800x600. The nVidia mx440 is a little dated now. | sammo450 (13626) | ||
| 707314 | 2008-09-29 01:53:00 | Anything would be better than MX440, however $30 diff between std 8600GT and 9600GT, I would get the 9600GT | SolMiester (139) | ||
