i just bought a Colorful 8500GT GDDR3 256MB today to replace my crappy FX5500 video card.. i wanted to buy the 7600GS but the 7xSeries cards are not sold anymore since they were replaced with the 8xSeries.. i could only afford 8500GT.. do you think this card could handle latest games such as COD4, UT3, Medal Of Honor: Airborne and etc..?
Nope. It's a horrible card. Though it is faster then your old one.
NoPeace - out
oh, my cousin just bought UT3.. tested it.. can play all maxed at 1024x768.. beautiful game..! ^^ couldnt go higher resolution coz of crappy monitor.. anyway.. i have a 2GB DDR2 RAM and AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+.. going to buy MoH: Airborne.. =)
You should try to get a better card as quick as possible if you want to play games without problems.
u can play UT3 with 1024 x 768 settings medium ~ high...
cod4 and MOH:A, try 800 x 600 all low
cod 4 needs roughly the same specs. on my x1650 pro i run ut3 and cod4 on max (1024/768 but thats as high as my monitor goes).Originally Posted by zoieta
tried CoD4 and MOH:A.. i could play em all maxed with 1024x768.. although some lagg in World in Conflict.. good affordable graphic card in Malaysia.. only cost 270 and below.. but i do need to buy the 8800 card.. but its really pricey about 790 and above.. the 8800GTX 640MB cost 1190..! holy...!! it must be really nice living in the US or Europe.. pc hardwares priced very cheap.. ^^
they will stop with 8800GTX on january 2008, buy a 8800GT, best cost by perfomance
my bro has one
Not really good with DX10 games tho
i was wondering.. ive been searching the DX10 on the web but couldnt find them.. only found the DX9.0c.. and secondly, ive updated my nvidia driver recently.. it shows that my card is 512MB with shader 3.0 while the card is actually 256MB with shader 4.0.. can somebody help me out..?
Sucky Card. Get a 8800GT
wow.. the 8800GT cost almost 700 and above in my country.. and the cheapest is 780.. way pricey for me..
700 what? Can't be dollars :P The HD3850 is a good card for a little less money too.
700 ringgit malaysia or RM700... 1 dollar is about RM3.8.. cheap in the US but very pricey in Malaysia..
I got a 8500GT and i can play MOH:A on High at 1024x768 with no problems same with Bioshhock, Timeshift and Rainbow Six Vegas 2.
Alot of people say 8500GT sucks but haven't found a game yet i have problems with.
And my 8500GT replaced an old ATI 9800 Pro 256 so compared to that it's alot better, i'm sure the newest Nvidia cards blow the 8500GT away but like i said none of the newest games give me a problem with 8500Gt so I think it's a great budget card.
what fps do you get in all those games ,
use fraps to benchmark.
