How would a 8600gt SSC 256mb run COD4??

[nguyenpeter76]

just wondering because newegg have a promo that lowers it to $95-$30MIR= $65. i run on 1680x1050 currently with a hd2400pro 128mb. it runs 10fps at 1680x1050 so im looking for an improvment hehe and have almost $200 to spend but dont want to go all out because i only play a select few such as cod4, cs 1.6 as of right now. plan to play sc2 when it comes out as well.

yeah i already know i need a 512mb card but 256mb is already a improvement from my current 128mb hd2400 pro :D

Find the faster BIOS (the one with 680MHz core) and flash this card with that BIOS and be done with it. Easiest OC ever for a pretty good price.

You should be able to run Maxed at a nice easy 50+ FPS... I think I was getting 70 maxed on my 2600xt 1280x1024.

I have seen a socket939 3500+ with a x850 run cod4 at 30fps at 1680x1050res, no AA of AF
Still not to bad for that hardware;)

On CSS with settings at max using just 1 XFX 8600GT I get about 130FPS, with the second one in SLI I get 240.

It also plays TF2 very nicely.(also at 1680 X 1050)

unfortunately i wont be able to oc because my current computer is a dell xps 420 :-/ unless of course i buy a new mobo and case (since its btx)

ive been leaning towards the 9600gt but iono.

make sure ur PS will handle the 9600GT first.

[nguyenpeter76]

yeah it will. although it says 375w, alot of ppl have been able to run 8800gts 8800gt on it.
