@ all

salamat sa tanan insights. nakapalit na dyud ko. although wala ko kapalit sa 8600gt kay limited ang budget but i have choosed the 7600gst ddr3. as of now dili ko katu-o sa kakusog kay grabeh dyud. nalupig niya ang previous 7300gt ddr3 nako, layo og difference =)

matay, magkirigkirig na pod ta og dula ani kay nagkalami na ang vc, naghangol naman gani og dula sa kadtong 7300gt ddr3 kay kusog na kaayo samot na ni ron, walay tulganay, wakekekekeke

again, salamat sa tanan =)

yup you choose wisely, 8500GT would have been bad

[weezur]

that would perform as good as 7600GT, but a bit cheaper. :mrgreen: it's an overclocked 7600GS by Inno3d.

7600GS is fine..

@ darkwing

thanks bai. nakasulay na diay ka 8500gt bai? lagi, i have read a forum site nga bati daw sa 8500gt, lupigon daw sa 7300gt. hapit raba ko ma tintal kay dx10 support na siya pero dugay pa man sad hinoon mo hinog na ang dx10. although ang ddr3 variant sa 8500gt kay nindot pod hinoon.

@ weezur

uu, youre right bai. =) medyo taas lang dyud price sa 7600gt. may lang gani, gipakita ko og benchmark sa personnel sa pcx mao nakatabang sa pagdecide nako nga mokuha sa 7600gst ddr3 kay nindot kaayo og score sa benchmark.

by they way, as we all know that OC shortens the life of a hardware. so meaning, the life of this is shortened also? kay as stated in its box and as you said kay "overclocked" >.<

please chk this review


Company of heroes
F.E.A.R. Extraction point
The elder scrolls IV: Oblivion
Prey
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of chernobyl

In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow Of chernobyl video card geForce 8600 GT is more preferable than Radeon x1950 GT, but defence is small. Furthermore, as test showed, we are able to play this game correctly only with incomplete dynamic illumination in 1024 X 768 resolution .

Conclusion

It is clear that new video card are faster than predecessor. On average in all benchmarks and games the advantage Of geForce 8600 GT over the 7600 GT is 34- 36%, minimum is equal to 4%, and maximum 73%. Furthermore, GeForce 8600 GT possesses higher frequency potential.

Now as comparison of today competitor video card GeForce 8600 GT and radeon x1950 GT. AMD did not present products of average and low price range using API directX 10 ; therefore as comparison we can use top ATI products from the previous generation, in this case we talk about Radeon x1950 GT. This last card with similar cost has a good advantage over nvidia 8600GT in games such as Serious sam 2, Quake 4, F.E.A.R ; Prey, and also Company Of heroes. GeForce 8600 GT is somehow faster in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of chernobyl and noticeably faster in The elder scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Besides these two games GeForce 8600 GT have advantage in the form of higher overclock potential and smaller energy consumption , and also in our view a simple PCB. Well do not forget also about DirectX 10 support smiley. So for those who look for new video card updating from a 7600GT or lower can for sure go with 8600GT but those who already have a radeon x1950 GT, there is no sense to get the card. I would propose to wait for ATI video card in this segment and then u can make a final conclusions. At present there is no need to hurry with purchase Of directX 10 graphic card . For sure i am not talking about 8800GTS or 8800 GTX from high end class.
