Hey guys. I have a 7900gs (256MB) I sent back today RMA so I picked up an
8600gt (512MB) to use in the meantime. It seems like the 8600 is maybe a small step backwards in performance. Does anyone use a similar card and could tell me how it should perform? Thanks all! |

At the minimum you should have gotten a 8800GTS 320 MB. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
