Atomic Rooster Omnipotent One Messages 11,161 Location USA May 13, 2007 #3 For $3 more, you should get the XFX GeForce 8600GT. It won't have the overheating issues as the Gigabyte one, and it will perform better due to it's higher clock speeds.

Atomic Rooster Omnipotent One Messages 11,161 Location USA May 13, 2007 #8 $10 difference? LOL! It's more like $50 between the XFX 8600GT and 8600GTS.

Atomic Rooster Omnipotent One Messages 11,161 Location USA May 13, 2007 #10 For those on a budget, $50 is quite a bit more then "a few dollars" when a lower priced card will perform nicely.
