IS Geforce 8500GT a gud chipset?
July 15th, 2022
So is it a good choice?
Nope, Get atleast a 8600 gt, The xxx edition with ddr3 memory is good for it’s price and it also has increased clock speeds.
8500 is kinda old now i think………well not old but theres better ones
yes get a 8600 its about the same price and ten times better i had all the chips
8500 8600 and a a8800 and i say the 8600 is almost jus as good as the 8800 the 8500 sucks big time
I don’t think so,
If i were you , i would buy a Geforce 8800GT or 8800GTS!
8500 and 8400 are a low-end cards you will play games at low settings even a 7600GT is better or a 7800GT
8600gt is good and pretty cheap, I suggest a 9600GT which is way cheaper than a 8800GT with “almost” same performance
well it depends on how you want to play games , if you’re okay with medium/low settings or not
i’ll give a list of prices
ASUS 8800GT 512MB DDR3
PCI-Express$235
Leadtek 8800GT 512MB DDR3
PCI-Expree$250
Gigabyte 9600GT 512MB DDR3
PCI-Express$190
ASUS ATI HD3850 256MB DDR3
PCI-Express$115 *great card
Galaxy 8600GT 512MB
PCI-Express,over-clocked$92 also a great card
Gigabyte 8500GT 512MB
PCI-Express$75 may as well get a 8600
ASUS G.Force 8400GS 256MB
PCI-Express$55 crap lol
Gigabyte 8400GS 256MB
PCI-EXPRESS$48
Gigabyte 7200GS 256MB T/C 512MB$42
NEVER go below a “x6xx” series with nVidia cards
the 7600GS is a better card than the 8500
if i was you get a hd3870 is the same as a 8800
but only 115$
but
a 8500 gt isnt great it cant play any new games on anything but low
8600 will play new games like crysis on very high *i did* got all the way to the last level with no lag *THATS VERY HIGH 25 frames

very high DX10 very high ?
with a 8600GT ?
you’ve gotta be kidding me
with a 8800GT you can’t play Cryisis on very high above 1024 x 800 without having lags , playable lags but REALLY uncomfortable to play with
only if you go SLI tho , but haven’t tried it
8600GT can play crysis on medium with no lags
My xfx 8600 gt xxx edition is currently playing on dx10 crysis all settings on high/very high at 1024 x 800 with no lag. Haven’t checked the fps yet but if I had to guess I’d say something in the 20’s.

okay then
but you must feel lags during gun fights
and expect some also during the snow
nope no lows in snow the snow is fine lol
actually the reason why i stopped playing was coz the last level lagged i didnt wanna play a laggy level lolz
i actually got to fight the very last monster where u had to shoot the tac launcher *didnt know it was last part * so i stopped

lol there are 2 giant monsters at that lvl , first you kill just by shooting with the minigun , then comes an even more gigantic one , you destroy the turrets and only then the tac gun will be avalible , it gives quite a punch
pretty easy if you ask me
sorry for going a bit off topic
Othen than HD playback, 8500gt is good for nothing. For the same price grab a second hand geforce 7900/7800 series. Even 7600. Dx 10 GTH because 8500 doesn’t perform good enough for what dx10 is meant to be.
8500 is worthless, how much money can you spend? If you want price/performance ratio go with an 8800GT or an ATI Radeon 3870 HD (I recommend).
Save up a little more and buy a 8800GT
i’m about to get a 8500GT too but after reading all what people say..
i’m confused & better star begging my parent for a 8600
Yeah, will go 4 either a 8600 GT or beg parents 4 a 8800 one!
I’m currently using 8500 GT. Man I suck. Probably getting a 8800 GT next year when I have enough cash.
or a Wii…
If you guys are on budget I recommend you get the xfx 8600 gt xxx edition, I’m plaing crysis, assassins creed, bioshock, cod4, coh, wic, everything..most on highest settings. I’m really happy with the card and it’s at a nice price.
moved
im using a 8500GT and its kinda sad after reading your reviews…makes me wanna cry for buying a 8500GT T_T lol….
anyways…i’ll just have to save some bucks and buy a new one….
