What do you think about a NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT?

Question

what do you know about this video card? is it a good card?

Answer 1

It is an average mid-end card.

The only good one is the the version with 256mb of DDR3 memory.

All the other ones aren't very good anymore.

Answer 2

decent low end card for low resolution casual gaming.

dont' get a 512MB version, the processor isn't fast enough to use all the memory.

Answer 3

I had that card prior to the one I have now. I mostly play EQ2 and had terrible problems with it...as did a lot of other people. If I were you, if there is something specific that you do, check out the forums for it and see if other people have problems with that card.  

Answer 4

Its a good card and decent price but there are better ones out there. It also depends on what you want to use it for, gaming, surfing or serving.

Answer 5

Answer 6
