I get between 90-125 fps, more often 110-125fps. Q9550 @ 3.8GHz 4 gig XFX Radeon HD5870. Win7 64 bits Resolution 1680 X 1050, settings 4 X AA, 8 X AF, all other settings to max. Your 8600Gt is getting a little "long in the tooth". Your Quad, while being a good CPU, could be pushed to 3.0GHZ without much trouble if you are interested in purchasing an aftermarket cooler and if your motherboard have appropriate overclocking options..... Careful, look at your Power supply's capacity and connectors before shopping for Graphics cards... You can look for GTX460s, Radeon HD6850 or 6870... all within the $170-$250.. (high midrange gaming cards) There is new cards coming out soon, so expect price drops on above-mentioned cards... GTX570 is coming soon (Dec 7th)...using the same vapor-chamber heatsink....Radeon HD6950 and HD6970 are coming out also this month (Dec.13th I think), both will target the $350-$450 price range I suspect... If you need help, either use PM, or post in the computer section of the forum!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
