Assuming that your system has a PCI-E X16 slot, Arcman has this reaaall bessss 8800gts for sale for only $1400, a steal at that price (if its still available). Give him a shout.

Oh I now check the thread properly. It's already been sold.

Meh @ 8600gt.

yea boy arcman sale rel hurt meh. especially since i need it now. oh well i think i mite have to go with the 8600GT. Anyone here have 1 that would recommend it?

yeah get the gt if it is your only options, but it also depends on what you want to run and at what resolution

UltimateGamer · « **Reply #8 on:** March 06, 2008, 10:41:12 PM »

I would recommend it. I built 2 pc's with that card last year, not too long after it came out. Interestingly enough its the 256 versions from xfx.

COD 4 1280 x 1024, MAX -> over 40 fps

The only game that was sort of crashing at first was bioshock, but that was a driver issue.

It is not the beast of a card, but it gets the job done for low res gaming.

And its 2 steps up from your 6600

So there you go. Just watch the price because these cards cost ~100US now so try to get a good deal

I recommend the 8600 GTS
Here is a good one for just about 102 US, and it will handily outperform the GT.

You can send the link to TTDirectBuy and see what their offer is to import one.

UltimateGamer · « **Reply #10 on:** March 07, 2008, 12:47:05 AM »

Well arc the only problem is uncle says he needs it this weekend so, even though its a great offer, its if he is willing to wait

Mugsy · « **Reply #11 on:** March 07, 2008, 10:55:55 AM »

i was planning to order the 8800GT but i really need it today. so i guess i'll have to go with the 8600GT. Hopefully i'll be able to get the 512mb version

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #12 on:** March 07, 2008, 12:49:14 PM »

... 512 8600 is like a turbo charged cortina...
is still jazz

Arcmanov · « **Reply #13 on:** March 07, 2008, 12:52:55 PM »

Well, he doesn't have the luxury of waiting on an order,
or else the 8800GT/9600GT would have done very nicely.

Fkacn_tt · « **Reply #14 on:** March 07, 2008, 02:52:46 PM »

you can try tuner i have seen some 8600gt/s there for 900 and up

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #15 on:** March 07, 2008, 03:34:08 PM »

Turbo charge Cortina rreaaaaaal besss wam to he boy.

Mugsy · « **Reply #16 on:** March 10, 2008, 09:25:02 AM »

i end up gettin the xfx 8600GT 512. Its not running bad at all. i downloadwd the latest drivers and ran The Witcher with the 1.2 patch and it ran real smooth in 1044x768 in medium. I even test it out on high settings and it was pretty ok too, I didnt really detect any kinda lag. So rite now i pumpin in a bes cortina with rims. lol

the only bummy thing is 512ddr2 ram. Wish it was Gddr.(oh well)

rassmatic · « **Reply #17 on:** March 10, 2008, 05:10:36 PM »
