Will I see A bottleneck with any of the 8600 cards???I would get the 8600Ultra!

well i can say if you have a 6600gt its being held back by the cpu. anything higher will be held back as well. you should be able to run at about the same fps with aa/af on.

Yeah, not worth the upgrade.

okay

I thought the 8600=6600gt.So I can turn up aa+af all the way and get the same fps as a 6600gt(no aa/af) RIGHT?

 

[Evilsizer]

yea that is right.

 

[deltaxx33]

Thanks!

yea that is right.

So will I bottleneck it with my p4 2.8 seriously!

 

[Evilsizer]

yes it will, to get all you can out of the 7xxx or even 8xxx you will need something along the lines of a 3.8ghz-4ghz p4(netburst) cpu. you could always go with cheap and fast amd x2 or intel c2d box. i would overhaul the whole system though, just imo.

I agree. If I were you I would just sell some of your parts or the whole computer and just build a cheap AM2 rig. C2D if you can afford.

Before I Do That!

What would be the perfect card for my cpu?

 

[Evilsizer]

well the 6200 isnt that fast to begin with. at most i would drop a 7600gs or gt in there. if you dont have the cash for one of those but can find a 6800Ultra go that route.

 

[deltaxx33]

Not Bad!!!!

I would love to drop a 7600gt in here.So there will be no bottleneck with that chip right?

 

[Evilsizer]

i have already answered that...i would still go with the 7600gt, so even if you drop in a new cpu you will see a fps increase.

 

[deltaxx33]

Thats all I wanted !

Thanks a lot !!!!

I run a 3200+ with a small overclock and a 7600GT CO with 580/1500. The 8600 performs between a 7600GT and a 7900GS. But sadly the 8600GT actually does not demolish the 7600GT like expected. If anything it performs worse in some games.

The 7600GT is like the equivalent of a 6800GT/Ultra. Reason I say this is because its about 30% faster than either of these cads. From what I have researched and known.
