Interesting test results. It's about the performance of a 7800GTX from what I can estimate from the 3DMark score.

Thread title is wrong?

Card says 8600 GTS?

[temur]

Yup. Doesn't look too appealing.

[Sethos]

No no, that's just wrong!

A GPU today is supposed to be insanely overpriced, require a nuclear reactor to run, need to run at 240* and not be able to fit inside a bus.

We can't have these cheap "in the middle" solutions!

[temur]

Yes, lol... Otherwise I wouldn't of posted it.

[NienorGT]

Bleh, I hate 3DMark.

Now I know that I need a 8800GTS minimum to beat my current system...

[temur]

You won't go wrong with an 8800GTX .. Ultra! :p
