If you really don't want to buy a new pc: a 2nd gig of ram + 7800 = yes
I don't agree with that one: 7800's are hard to get and therefor more expensive than a 8600, which you can buy for a price around 100 euro's. now the 8600 scores close (1000 points difference) to the 7900GT, which is better than the 7800. 8600 FTW I'd say: cheaper and better!Freezer7Pro wrote:

Pretty valid point, but if he can get his hands on a 7800 from a well-equipped store with many in stock, they usually go pretty cheap.']['error wrote:

yes, but the 3850 is more expensive then the 8600. Sure it's better, but bottlenecking would be the problem. Like putting an ferrari engine in an old fiat panda.Freezer7Pro wrote:

Otherways, the 3850 is a really good alternative.
True, but it's not a lot more expensive, just $20 more than the most expensive 8600GT, $70 from the cheapest, and that gives it so much better value. I'd save up a little more for a 3850 over an 8600 any day.']['error wrote:

/convinced, go for the 3850. Or if you don't want to spend more: 8600 if you must.Freezer7Pro wrote:
