557462 2007-06-21 07:43:00 Out of those 2 the 8600GT will be the better of the two... The_End_Of_Reality (334)
557463 2007-06-22 05:50:00 thanks for that looks like the 8600 it is. I can get another 8600gt for cheapish would it be worth looking at a SLI set up? LOWTEC (7821)
557464 2007-06-22 08:33:00 IMO SLI with 2 cheap cards will cost more and be less powerfull than a single high end card... but fine if you can't afford a single high end card and get one now and another 6 months down the track but by then new stuff is most likely out... but I would wait for DX 10.1 as that will need another hardware change :rolleyes: The_End_Of_Reality (334)
557465 2007-06-22 12:50:00 oh ok then, doesnt matter now as I just found out the other 8600gt i thought i could get 1/2 price is a xfx version not gigabyte so wouldnt of worked anyway. On a positive note I just installed my new 8600gt and so far im really impressed for the performance and general display qualities despite its very average reviews and that its a middle-lower end card. The HD picture on my 32" tv is not too bad as well. LOWTEC (7821)
557466 2007-06-22 21:28:00 Good to hear :thumbs: you will have to let me know how it handels DX10 games if you can :D (I am looking at a DX10 can now to last till the next gen but I possibly might get an 8800GTS :D) The_End_Of_Reality (334)
