Hello everyone, i'm replacing my 8600gt, first of all i CANT GET THE 8800GT am only limited to some choices and i need help in choosing the best of them
1- EVGA 8600 (Can't remember if it was 265 or 512 :S )
2- Gigabyte HD3850 512 GDDR3
3- Gigabyte 7900 GT 256
4- Gigabyte 8600 GTS

My main board is P35 "Crossfire", also one other thing i live in Egypt so prices are alot different and there is a big difference between the 3850 and the 8800GT.

my aim is mainly Gaming and specially Crysis, my max res is 1280x1024

So wat u think?!

3850 without a doubt. best price/performance; major overclockability...you can easily get it close to 3870 speeds. would be a complete waste in money to go from an 8600 to an 8600, even if its clocked faster with more ram. the only reason to buy the 7900gt if it was like 100 dollars less. just go with the 3850 you will be very happy!
