8500GT is better than 6600GT … but is just a little lower than 7600GS …. but if you do Overclock on 8500GT ….. the performance is near to original 8600GT.. but for now … i recommend 9500GT …

ok.. just a short question.. is there any difrerence (besides the cooling) from nvidia XFX geforce 8500 Gt and nvidia geforce 8500 GT? or hell maybe its even the same card? :/

Comment from nulla06

what makes you think is the same?-i love sarcasm, don’t you?

Comment from Freemmaann
Time: June 28, 2009, 8:57 am

o.O i think im confused.. so.. its the same card just with a different cooler.. hm :/

Comment from nulla06
Time: June 28, 2009, 5:47 pm

*sigh* You got it right! haha It actually depends if the other companies overclocked it a little or there’s something a LITTLE bit special about it.But most of the time the difference is in cooler which gives you more overclock without going too hot :] and i suggest the iChill series :] gives you way more overclock haha ;)

Comment from nulla06
Time: June 30, 2009, 9:36 am

You have to know what slot for the video card you have, it’s written in the box. if you’re motherboard is PCI then you need PCI/PCI-E if you need PCI-E then you need PCI-E, if you need AGP then AGP it is haha no alternative :P

Comment from Riddler737

It has a PCI slot, so will it work, this is the first time i’m installing a video card?

How do I know if my slot is PCI, AGP, etc?

Comment from nulla06
Time: July 12, 2009, 9:31 pm

You could also check out the box, it should say your motherboard’s specs and slotsor you can search on the internet if your motherboard has AGP or PCIe :]

reïnstalling Mirror’s Edge might do the trick

Comment from nelizmastr

depends on what game. 8800gt isnt good enough for the highest end games from today. if you have a large budget, get a GTX 250 or better.

Killzone 2

Comment from deadmanavir
Time: August 3, 2009, 6:31 am

killzone 2 ? that’s not a even pc game …. Killzone 2 is a ps3 game. The ps3 runs the Geforce 7900GTX. I believe IF killzone 2 was released for the PC, that card could’ve easily max out that game. The 8800GT can max out crysis at DX 10 which is half of killzone’s 2 graphics ….

Comment from nelizmastr

so? its NOT ON THE PC, SO YOU CANT USE YOUR 8800GT

Crysis with this video card , 800×600 and low details runs smooth , the same if you use the 1024×768 resolution I don’t recommend to set all details at medium or high because the game will lag very much

You cant play world of warcraft with this card. I have it and it just sucks..you can hardly play if you turn down your settings. I would say get a better one if you wanna play WoW. Im buying a new one.

?! i have the 8500 gt and i play world of warcraft fine. depending on the area i get from 30 to 50s fps. and i have all the settings maxed out probably check your ram or the processor

Comment from 4077kk
Time: November 8, 2009, 7:51 pm

9600gt is better, u just have to pay a little bit more than (9500gt - These are the games that i play with my 9500gt.Good to play world of warcraft,farcry,half life 2 trilogy,fear,call of duty 4,oblivion with medium setting & games that come out before 2005 or 2006.)

Comment from IBeCeRTiiFieD

there were benchmarks of it playing crysis on high at 30-40 fps…

Comment from 4077kk
Time: November 8, 2009, 11:55 pm

I don’t play crysis so i don’t know.But playing crysis on medium setting (still need a fast computer & using directx 10) is like “why you buy this game?”.I heard that playing crysis using 9800gt (my current CG) still give problems, i’am sure 9500gt have more.

dudes i have MSI8500gt; 1,25 gb ram; 3,4 processor, and i can play almost everything(the only thing that i might just need is some more RAM,and a new motherboard cos its old), ive played all kind of games far cry 2,crysis,Project origin 2(f.e.a.r), bioshock, assasins creed, etc…i had no problem…its very important the drivers that u have installed and must keep your pc clean of viruses thats all, but i still dont know how to play blu-rays,dont know what to install to make them work better

or a 5870, like i did.i had this card for the last 2 years, and this card, even in 2007, was bullshit., ive played crysis on medium definiton with little bit lags with an dual processor, it was okay for half life 2, but 2 or 3 month after my buy, the card was nothing but a card for old games, it was broke 2 years after my buy. This card is not an gaming card, but it can run all games on med-low settings, ill recomend it if you want an desktop for work, u will still be able to play.

@XeresKyle Well, unfortunately, if it’s a laptop, the graphics card can’t be upgraded. Depending on the setup, the original onboard graphics chip can be allocated to use more system memory, to improve performance.
