    8500GT, what do you think?

    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.

    You should try to get a better card as quick as possible if you want to play games without problems.

    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).

    Re: 8500GT, what do you think?

    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.
