Hi there folks, i posted this in another forum and was told to try here, hope you guys can help.
im thinkin about upgradin my graphics card coz...well...my computer is gettin old, and its about the only part i havent replaced. hahah

Currently im runnin' with a 256mb Radeon x600pro, and i was thinkin about gettin' a
XFX GeForce 8600 GT Graphics adapter 512 MB (DDR2 SDRAM)...but im unsure as to how much of an improvement, if at all this will give me coz im not really all that savvy when it comes to technical specifications...

would this give me a good boost for runnin CoH? i was thinkin about tryin a few other newer games (AoC, Batman; arkham asylum), would gettin this card let me play those?

(all the other systems are pretty new n i know they can handle most've it)

I have an 8600GT. I upgraded from a 6200. So the jump in performance was substantial. Personally, I find this card works perfectly well with anything I've thrown at it thus far. In CoX you'll be able to turn up a lot of the settings to max if not just below max. Some specific settings you may need to take it easy on, but the good stuff you'll be able to have fairly high.

I'm excited for you cause you'll get to notice all the little things that make this game look so great. Such as the reflective metal on mostly all of the Arachnos bases/buildings. When I first saw that I was like :O




We'll see....

As my esteemed colleagues have stated before me, you will see a substantial increase in performance and enjoyment of the game with that card.

Good choice going with nVidia.
