Topic: 8500GT vs 9600GT, which is better

[ivanduk]

Ok i gonna buy a new gfx card, but i don't know which one to get

VGA MSI GeForce 9600GT DDR3 512MB,256bit,TV-OUT,2DVI,OverClock, w/o Game, ZALMAN FAN

or,  

VGA MSI GeForce 8500GT DDR2 512MB,128bit, TV-ou, DVI, Heatsink

I've heard that 8600 is better than 9660, but there isn't 8600, so i choose 8500


so can you tell me which one to choose?

[KTM_Racing]

i think
"VGA MSI GeForce 9600GT DDR3 512MB,256bit,TV-OUT,2DVI,OverClock, w/o Game, ZALMAN FAN"

Get the 9600GT, very reliable.

[[MAF]Snoopy]

there isn't a 9660  

and yeah an 8500gt isn't a gaming graphics card it's more for multimedia, videos music etc, get a 9600gt it won't let you down.

i agree with the other replies. the 9600gt is better.

oh and one more thing: "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaalp!!!" isn't really a good subject. i think something like "Help me choose a new graphics card" or "8500GT vs 9600GT, which is better?" would be better. someone who could help you is more likely to click on a thread like that than this one. keep that in mind when making future topics

[[MAF]falky]

39-49 dollars, depending on where your buying and what sub-vendor.

how much that 9600GT cost xD?

Around 75 and 130 euros.
Also remember one thing don't buying model with gddr2 memory because degrade card performance 30-50 percent,depends of model what you buying.
Standard model of 9600gt is with 512mb/256 bit ddr3 memory on board.
My suggestion is Asus,Gigabyte or Gainward

[[MAF]falky]

CORRECTION LOL.

I meant to say 79-99 dollars

[Sarah]

9600GT all the way because it's newer and it has DDR3

[[MAF]MrHess]

[[MAF]mooman]

Carbon take a 9600GT, cuz it is over 2X stronger than 8600GT <-- here is test in bioshock, 3 overclocked 96GT vs 86GTS(much stronger than conventional 86GT)
