Hi, I am looking at upgrading my computer and I am wondering if I need a new video card. I currently have a Nividia Ge Force 8600 GT
Spec:
NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT
GPU Clock Speed 540 MHz
RAMDAC Speed 400 MHz
Card Interface PCI Express
Memory
Installed Memory 512 MB
Memory Tech GDDR2 SDRAM
Memory Data Width 128-bit
Installed Memory 512 MB (GDDR2 SDRAM)
Max. Screen Resolution 2560 x 1600
I am a gamer and this card seems to run most of the games I have just fine (Oblivion, Fallout3 Mass effect, Assassins creed), but I am wondering how long that will last. Is this card good enough to play the new games coming out like Assassins creed 2 more Mass effect 2? And if so, will it play the games at the high graphic setting or low? The idea is to keep this card as long as I can so that newer cards go down in price. Can some one please help me?
P.S. I was also considering getting another 8600 and linking them togeather. How much of an improvement would this be?
