Going from an X1950Pro to an 8600GT is quite a downgrade. I wouldn't recommend that.

CB - I wasn't suggesting that.

More along the lines that 8600GT is enough for me. So Techy is looking to go from better than I already have to even better - ah well.

very interesting ian,
I was suprised to see the GTS8600 cards placed as they were.....
the 256 card beat out the 512 card, with both cards having the same specs otherwise.
wonder if that was a typo..

well if the x1950pro is better than the 8600gt why bother upgrading as you will see bugger all difference in FS... in fact send me your money I can be sure of wasting it better ;-)
