To put it simply, I need one that can run Call Of Duty 4, but more precisely, it needs to be a nVidia Geforce above 6600, that has Open GL 2.0 or higher compatibility, and has a fairly good pipeline…


and affordable?



I've tried searching, but I just don't know where.

Why do you say that?
It's a Canadian company and our dollar is at $1.017 :p

8800gt


I'm Special Ed and I approve this message. (It's really nice especially for the money, if you're not willing to spend that much go for the 8600gt not the 8700…)

Jesus Christ people, I'm not rich! But the 8600 would be affordable…


performance, anyone?


EDIT: Thanks people, I think I'm going with the 8600. Whats nice is I've found it with 512mb (no black spots in game) and for $120! I know Hobbit's compares with that, but my parents (with the money) don't trust rebates.

I personally think the 3rd one would be your best bet if you wanna save money but the first one is the best of the three… I think there may be some others out there but I'll let you do a little research yourself.

Funny, I found the first one with 512mb for $10 less!

Heh, I'll sell you my 6600 :p

What's it worth….like 5 bucks :D

Looking for a 9800 GX2….but they're a heckuva 'spensive…

I have the 8600gt, and it works great. Runs COD2, COD4, FEAR, all the popular games. I play CoD2 most of the time (online, of course), CoD4 bore me.


Btw, check my sig on my views on ImageShack.

I upgraded from a 6600GT to a 8800GTS 512mb G92 Alpha Dog Edition and it was well worth the bucks :). Runs crysis on max settings with ~40 FPS.

CoD4 it just owns, over 90FPS with max details.

DX10 ftw :D
