628523 2008-01-09 20:55:00 The 7xxx had crap IQ, I would either get the 88GT or a cheap ATI HD3xxx for around $300, either of these would spank the 7xxx series and have much better IQ SolMiester (139)
628524 2008-01-09 21:48:00 What is IQ?

Did you read he can't afford the 8800GT?

628525 2008-01-09 23:07:00 I can't afford 8800GT, I can afford a mid-range 8600GTS or 7900gt. Or I can wait for awhile and get HD 35xx 36xx. CaptainVincent (76)
628526 2008-01-09 23:20:00 Cheapest 8600GTS on pricespy is $220. This offers very similar performance to 7900GT. And the 7900GT is $70 minimum cheaper. Looks a great deal to me

DX 10 on the 8600GTS is no advantage

628527 2008-01-09 23:39:00 I've looked at the benchmarks and in every previous gen game 8600gts usually loses to 7900gt. But current and future gen games (Call of duty 4, Crysis) 8600gts carves up. Would this be better for a temporary future? CaptainVincent (76)
628528 2008-01-09 23:49:00 <Shrug> Does it really matter than much? It's a few fps. But it's a $70+ difference. mejobloggs (264)
628529 2008-01-09 23:51:00 I've looked at the benchmarks and in every previous gen game 8600gts usually loses to 7900gt. But current and future gen games (Call of duty 4, Crysis) 8600gts carves up. Would this be better for a temporary future? Well are you wanting to play new games or previous games?

Personally if you do not need the card now, wait and get more money then get a better card, you will be happier overall :2cents:

628530 2008-01-10 00:04:00 I can get A 8600GTS for $150 including delivery. I want to be able to play games like assassins creed and unreal 3 engine games. I would like to be able to play them at medium settings. In a near future DirectX 10 will HOPEFULLY (unlikely) deliver better performance like it promised too. CaptainVincent (76)
628531 2008-01-10 01:30:00 Oh, ok you can get a 8600GTS for same price as well...

Just flip a coin
