Customer Reviews

more than happy
I bought this card to replace the Nvidia 7800GT that my son had in his pc, as I needed it back and didn't want to leave him with only his on board ATI graphics. to cut a long story short i bought him this card (Inno3D Geforce 8600GT) The figures all looked good, but i have to admit i had some doubts, as this card is much less expensive than the one it was to replace, isn't such an impressive looking card, doesn't need its own power plug and doesn't come in a fancy box with free games ect.
All i can say is if you're "thinking" of getting one of these, stop "thinking" you will not be disappointed, Inno3D in my opinion have got it dead right, Plunged it in and tried a few games in World of worcraft with screen resolution and everything up full it still more than doubles the frame rates of the 7800gt and for the price you can go out and buy you're own choice of game and still save money! Or maybe even get a second card! erm... come to think of it anyone want a 7800GT? Cant wait till my son goes out!

EXCELLENT GAMING CARD!!!
This card is everything the media has made it seem to be. I highly reccomend it for anyone who wants to play all next-gen games like BioShock, World in Conflict etc without spending too much. Games appear crisp and with smooth framerates. Excellent card!!!

Great for gaming
When i was buying this card i already had my PC with sfficient RAM (2GB) and a god enough processor. I was purchasing this to replace my old on-board graphics card. I was facing a decision whether or not to get this one, or the same model with 512Mb but a lower MHz. I bought this one anyway, as i decided that there wouldn't be much differance between the two.

This graphics card is amazing for playing games. It doesn't seem to speed up video encoding or photoshop, or any software based things like that. But for gaming it is excelent. I play a lot of high end games now, such as World in Conflict, GTA San Andreas, Flight Sim X and so on. I will admit that World in conflict does not play at full, so i really don't know what you need to play it on max, as i heard that the 8800 cannot either.

However for games about a year old, or less intense games such as GTA, it is amazing. Before with my on-board i was playing it in 800 x 600 at a low spec; now everythings whacked up to full, and there is no ghosting or no "bad" effects at all.

I strongly recommend that you buy this card now, if you are looking to accelerate your performance then buy this card. If you a graphics fanatic in the ltest games then you better get saving up the £400 for dual 8800's.
But from anywhere to average PC user, to high end gamer, this card will suit you perfectly.
