Is the 8500gt 512mb good?

The nVidia GT 8500 was considered to be an entry level graphics card back in 2007 when it was released.

Compared to modern video cards, it probably comes somewhat close to a nVidia GT 210. Both of which are slower than the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphic core found in some of Intel's Sandy Bridge CPUs like the Core i3-2125 and Core i5-2500k. The Intel HD 3000 is more or less equivalent to a desktop Radeon HD 5450 graphic card.
