PNY GeForce 8600 GTS 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 any good?

I have this:

I’m running dual monitors at 1680x1050 with Vista Ultimate.

My friend said that I should upgrade my video card. Will I get any added benefit from a new video card?

I just occasionally play games and even tried Crysis with 1 monitor at low settings. I finished the game on Delta (which I assume means most monsters) and it seemed fine through all the episodes. So what will a better graphics card do for me besides allowing me to up the settings on a game like Crysis (which I’m never playing again)?

So I also have a Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz and 4MB RAM dual channel 800 RAM.
So does this spec make it possible for me to play that game even though my 8600 is not a gaming card?

4850 is your answer.

i have a 8600gt and i can play almost every game in max settings(crt 1280x1024), exept crysis, witch i don´t even like it. but to be honest a 8800gt is a great card, have in mind how much and what games do you play.

It actually recommended everything set to Medium at that resolution, but I found it a little jittery and didn't like it so I changed everything to low settings. But at the low settings it seems to handle DX10 ok. Maybe because this specific card has a 710 MHz clock helps it a little. But then again, for Crysis, you usually play a game like this for the graphics on very high settings I suppose. I mean the game-play itself is pretty lame compared to others so...but I guess it's meant to be multi-palyer and the episodes are just "training".

4850 like others said, its soo sexy I swear I'd buy it just to look at it and then throw out my 9600 GT in my second computer
