Graphic card comments

[Casper]

Guys, this may well be in the wrong place (hell, it isn't even motorolafans related).

I'm not a gamer - but I like to at least be able to play a game.
Now I have a Legend 6800 GS. I can get this other guys MSI 8600 GTS, but want to know if it's a worthwjile buy for possibly small upgrade. The thing I'm just not too sure about is this 8600 is 128-bit architecture, whereas my current 6800 is 256-bit. But I only think I'd experience better performance out of the 8600. And that's what I'm looking for.
I don't want to turn this into a huge debate. All I want to know is if it is a decent upgrade (and I'm not prepared to buy a new card now, so don't need other recommendations).
So, if you're a gamer, tell me if you could only have either the Legend 6800 GS, or the MSI 8600 GTS - which would it be?


Thanks.

I'd stick with the 6800.

well i own a 8600GT 512MB
Its good but its not a decent upgrade @ this moment.
Stick with 6800 and upgrade to 9 series when the price drops.

Yeah, I've decided not to waste money unnecessarily! And since I'm not a huge gamer, maybe it's not worth it - rather upgrade to 8800 or high-range 9 series. But I think I'll keep things the way they are, and only upgrade the 3d card together with a new system - which will probably be in a couple of years - granted my current doesn't decide to pack up.

I generally only really do video capture/processing (which doesn't require much beside processing power).

Thanks for your suggestions. I was tempted, because I do believe I'd get an improvement, but I guess it's not worth it and it's just taking for granted what I already have.

PappuDC is right I think , I own the 9400 GT and its worth the price , Crysis , COD 5 all give the best performances..

i m a huge gamer i have nvidia 9500gt 512mb ddr3


i recently completed call of duty modern warfare 2 in vietran difficulty

i think you have to buy nvidia 250gtx it have better performance than 9800gtx

and the price are approx same and also 250gtx supporting dx 10.1


if you want to go in higher range than buy nvidia 290gtx

or if you want to buy laptop than buy alienware m17x with nvidia sli graphic cards its specification is in the following link
