Anyway, sorry for stealing your thread

I would go for the 8600 over the 7900 because of the future compatibility (dx10)

Good idea for a thread btw, even better if it was spelt correctly lol. I have sorted it for you

[Lebowski]

Yeah, there is the DX thing, but I honestly don't think it'll be powerful enough to run the major DX10 games that will come out at a decent level.

As it stands I'm not too fussed about DX10 until a great DX10 racing sim comes out then I might be but that will be a while.

The deciding factor for me was the fact it supported HDCP. I know it's on the 7950 and the 8800 but I'm not too sure about the 7900 other than the 7900GS

[upgrader]

7900gs is a nice card, i would have got it if i could afford that little bit extra at the time. IT runs many games on high

Agree with the point about 8600.
