Its not bad if you don't need max graphics or you're playing anything not demanding.Originally posted by: error8
8600 GT DDR3 is the best choice. But remember that this is a very bad card for gaming.
Trust Newegg review's with a very small grain of salt,lots of people like to spread misinformation,not that i ain't saying that 8600GT can't get 25-27FPS in Crysis,just warning you.Originally posted by: msi1337
I ended up getting a 8600GT 512MB Gddr3 msi card from Newegg with free Witcher game for $85 after rebate
for me 8600gt is perfectly fine. all my games aren't very demanding. Lots of the reviews at newegg say they can play Crysis with this card with 25-27fps.

My HD 2600XT can run Crysis on Medium @ 1280x720 with 20-35FPS.... you are obviously biased against anything below your 8800/HD 3800/whatever you have in performance.Originally posted by: error8

Maybe they can play Crysis with it on low settings, using 800X600 resolution.

No I'm not biased, but I really don't think you are having so many frames per second with your card in Crysis. I do own a 8800 GT though, but it always struggled in Crysis on medium, high or whatever. It never played smooth so how could a 2600XT with 256 mb on 128 bits can do the trick?
NEVER exclude the possibility that your card doesn't work perfectly,also,did you update your drivers? Installed the patches? That might help a good deal ifg your card isn't a junky one.Originally posted by: error8

Your doubts are well-founded but wrong nevertheless. A 8600GT can play Crysis fine at 1024x768 high settings or crank it up to 1280x1024 on medium settings, sure this is averaging around 20-25FPS but Crysis is completely playable at these settings.
high settings for non core2 cpu users? NO. medium settings at 1024x768 is playable until after the core level then its all low for the snow and carrier levels. with a good core2 duo you could probably put most of the settings on high at 1024x768. regardless of what people "think" Crysis is very cpu demanding below 1280x1024.Originally posted by: Piuc2020

I had a 8600gts. It's a little faster than 8600gt. Crysis medium was all that it could muster @ 1440x900. High settings was out of the question unless 800x600. 1024 if you like 15fps average and I was running a core 2 duo @ 3.05ghz.
Crysis is video card limited not CPU limited.
