GeForce 8600 GTS...Should I get? I have: Vista 64 Bit.?

Question

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130084

I'm thinking about buying that tomorrow...

(Or the 512mb 8600 GT..)

Is there support for Vista 64 Bit?

Is it worth it?

I have 9400 (Which is kinda lame... )

Computer Specs:

AMD Phenom 9550 - Quad Core

5GB of RAM

Vista Home Premium 64 Bit.

With the 8600 GTS, it would help tremendously for my casual gaming.

But, will it work with Vista 64 Bit?

I need your opinions.

Also, would it actually fit in my computer.

If you know the length/width of it. it would be great.

Games I'll be playing:

World of Warcraft

Others I haven't thought yet. It's kinda late.

Thanks for helping!

Answer 1

I'd need to know your motherboard type first.

And here are the drivers for the 8600GTS for 64-bit Vista.

And the drivers for the 8600 GT incase.

Oh and make sure you are viewing it in Internet Explorer, because Microsoft won't let you view it in anything else.

Hope this helps.

It has a better cooling solution and a slight overclock, making it somewhat faster and a lot more stable for the long run. Either card should be fine for WoW, though.

Answer 3

any 8600 gt will do fine if you are sticking to wow only . but you gave a great computer setup with a quad and 5 gb ram so why not get a Ge force 9600 as its much better than 8600 gt in performance and you can play new games also .  

Answer 4

It will support 64bit.  

However get the 9600gts over the 8600gts.  you will get double if not tripple the performance.

8600gts has very little power for when it comes to physx
