get an OCed 8600gt such as galaxy premium or palit sonic version thumbup.gif
I prefer palit one, coz its the only one that comes out with 2 slot cooling, first in world for a budget card like this

about the palit sonic version.. is saw thundermatch's pricelist.. and saw the palit 8600GT at 480.. is that the sonic version??

the whole LYP dont have the 8600 sonic doh.gif
only thunder match got, but only the normal version

having no other choice, I bought galaxy 8600gt OC with CM fan, although the price is same as 7900gs, but for the sake of dx10 and lesser power requirements, I chose 8600gt, hopefully that would be a good choice.

how much is the galaxy 8600GT??

ok, here are the benchies of my galaxy 8500ge ddr3 1.4ns 256mb 128bit 600core/700mem (1400mhz effective)

my 'budget' rig :
intel c2d e4300 @ 2.4ghz
asrock 775dual-vsta mobo (pci-e is 4x only)
512mb ddr400
driver : forceware 158.22 & ntune

with cpu 1.8ghz & gpu 600/700 (both @ stock speeds) :
3dmark03 : 10603
3dmark05 : 6123

with cpu 2.4ghz & gpu 680/790 :
3dmark03 : 12406
3dmark05 : 7086

* yeah.. my mobo isn't the best out there .. but what to do .. it's a budget rig ... blush.gif

hmm after mmohdnor getting 6k in 3dmark 05 with stock speed.. i was thinking of buying this galaxy 8500GT instead of my first choice xpert vision 7600GT do you think its wise?? 7600GT will score around the same in 3dmark 05 with 8500GT.. but 8500GT has DX10.. so do you guys think its wise to get the 8500GT or the 7600GT??
