Need for speed - shift

yes u should be able to play in med to high

You'll be disappointed by the eye candy at low settings, but the game play is fun.

Have you thought about investing in a new $100-150 GPU to play your new $50-60 games?

Well a 8600 has similar performance to the 7800, as does the 8800 has similar performance to the 9600, It's the same for almost all nvidia cards, where *600 has the same performance as the (*-1)800. Understand? Or in words, the high end card of generation 1 has the same performance as the mid range level card of generation 2.

Anyways, back on topic, yes, you should be able to play the game, it just wont look all that shiny.

I've had an 8600GTS before and it was quite a good card.

You are so wrong. 7600 = 8600 but w\dx10 the 7800 gets it's arse handed to it by the 8800GTS(G80/G92)/GT/GTX as does the 9600GSO/GT.

Judging from the player models, the engine is the same as it was in undercover. The good news is that they put a ton of good work into physics this time.

Sadly, the demo won't accept my 12 yr old wingman rumblepad. I can only make left turns .

well investing...ill b upgradin to a gtx 260 in some months..i say !
system specs ? 3gig ddr2 ram , c2d @ 2.40
500gig hdd....500w psu...msi mobo
played undercover @ med-high with 40+ fps
so it was all good ! was at 1280 x 1024
actually my 8600 is oc'd to 620 mhz !

The 9600M GT is neutered, it's not the same as the desktop 9600 GT. In fact, it's exactly half a 9600GT, and probably equivalent of a 9500GT.

I remember when the 7600GT was the card to buy.

My cousin bought a 7800GTX for $600 AU. He still can't get over how much money he wasted on that thing. I myself was caught between the 7900GS and X1950 pro 2-3 years ago, but ended up with the Pro. It was a great card, and then Crysis introduced us to SSAO and decent HDR lighting. Granted, my 3700 San Diego was more of a problem for Crysis than the Pro.

Ouch, that hurts. I bought plenty of cards over time, but at least was a bargain hunter, almost always avoiding those $400+ flagships.

Smart move on the X1950. I later got an iceQ X1950XT and sold off the X1800XT.

LOL, fun times.... I shared that same sinking boat with the single core S939 + Crysis experience. Yippee! Had found (for the time ) a way cheap FX-55 and just had to have that unlocked multi.

hehehe !! guys i agree !

ok randomizer .. evn i was thinkin of keepin this 8600 till it dies..

no point atm cos im into studies...so its like lol...my leisure..not obsession [gaming]

well...hope d green team brings out something cheap in a year or so ! like ati
