Atomic Rooster Omnipotent One Messages 11,161 Location USA Dec 27, 2007 #5 Yea, the 8500GT definitely beats the 7300GS quite easily. Have a look: Benchmarks. You'll find them near the bottom of the chart.

worshipme Golden Master Messages 5,603 Dec 27, 2007 #6 Why is everyone still recommending the 8600 series? The ATI 3850 has made them completely obsolete.
Atomic Rooster Omnipotent One Messages 11,161 Location USA Dec 27, 2007 #7 Cost is a big factor worshipme. 8600GT's can be had for a little more than $90, whereas the 3850's start around $169.

worshipme Golden Master Messages 5,603 Dec 27, 2007 #8 Whoa! I never realised the 8600s were so cheap now. And you can get the 3850s for cheaper than that, around $140 if you look around.

Atomic Rooster Omnipotent One Messages 11,161 Location USA Dec 27, 2007 #9 You must have some good connections. The cheapest 3850 I could find was at ZipZoomFly for $165.99.
worshipme Golden Master Messages 5,603 Dec 28, 2007 #10 I just realised. Why did I bring up an 8600GT, this topic is about the 8500.
