well as some may know my geforce 6200 is a bit out of date for most of my games namely far cry 2 which i can just amazingly play with a frame rate of 15-8 which strangely enough plays quite smooth well above 10 fps

but anyway

ive been looking at the 8600 gt

and while searching for a reasonbly priced card i got myself confused with all the xfx pny sfx or what ever and my brain is a bit fried up and i see some selling the card for 80-40 quid and its just too much for me to bother understanding

also if anyone recomends me a different card i want 1 that can use dx10 and has a hdr of 128 bit

heres a list of the top 10 dx10 cards link

heres some xfx 8600 gt's that are fairly cheap link

Sometimes when I am sitting alone in my room with no one around, I will randomly say, "I know your listening", so if no one is listening I didn't lose anything, and if someone is I just gave them a heart attack.

A 9600gt is virtually identical to the 8800 gts

8600 is terrible card.

My 7900GS humps it performance wise.

Buying anything other than an 8800GT or above would be a waste of money i'm afraid mate, especially if you're looking for a noticable performance boost in Far Cry 2.

they aren't. my c90's got a 8600M GT 256 MB DDR3, and it's running far cry 2 at high and css at a steady 120 fps with everything except aa and af maxed out.

sure, a 8800GT or faster will outperform it, but that's not really strange if you look at the price tags.

again, it doesn't. run 3dmark06 and upload your scores and i'll bet you a case of beer my 8600 is faster (asus powergear on, about a 15% OC)
7900GT and the 7950 series _do_ beat it easily. 7900GS doesn't.

all in all, go for a quicker card if you can, but the 8600GT's are well decent for cheap fun with most modern games (only crysis doesn't run worth a damn, needs to have everything at low/med to get 35 fps)

I have an XFX 8600GTS, and unlike what Jim says, it's not crap, it can play TF2 on high, Bioshock on high, CoD4 on high, pretty much everything I've tried it can run mid-high with decent FPS.

But soon I am upgrading to a 4850/70 which I suggest you do if you can afford an extra £40.

This r good.

Oh, right, look at ATI cards, they're much better than Nvidia right now, you get much more for your money.

Just had a look at some of the ATI cards and although im not keen on ATI i have to agree there's some good bargains about such as:

Supposedly ment to be faster than the 8600gt too, pretty good for £60

Welcome!
Imagine This:
Going to a massive game server, where everyone knows everyone else, its all taken in a good manner and there to be enjoyed. The way Gaming should be. Thats what we do every day!

Like None Other
Team MX is like no other 'clan' ever conceived, we are a team, Team MX. We're probably the largest UK clan ever, we have over 170 team members with well over 130 of them actively playing. Team MX is over a year old now, celabrating its first birthday in November last year. Headed up by the worlds biggest n00b, MoggieX and backed up by some outstanding n00blets, known as the core admins.

We don't recruit twats!
Quite frankly we ain't interested in matches, or 'twats' (mainly gobby teanagers, you know the ones), if this is something you're looking for, or are, you're not in the right place at all. However, IF you are a utter n00b (like I am, MoggieX) and enjoy the 'whole' online gaming expereince, where you can make friends from all over the world, then you have found yourself a new home.

A Little More About Team MX
Also quite interestingly, every Team MX member gets a limited amount of admin privilages, its been the norm for people to pay for such rights, here you get them free and you can also feel at ease that there is only small group of admins, the core admins that have the access to any player abuse commands. So you can play in realtive safety, knowing that the server you're on is patrolled by an army of admins. We have members from the ages of 9 to well past retirement, probably with an average age twice that of other clans, a prime example that this is no ordinary clan.

Joining Team MX
We don't let just any old person join, you have to prove yourself over a long period of time. If you're turning up here thinking you're going to join us in a few days, you're sorely mistaken. In most cases it takes over a month to be recruited and thats just the lucky ones! People (not players) rarely leave Team MX, if they do, we never really seem to get rid of them, lol.
