RE: Graphic Card questions
still, recommending one of the cards you mentioned to someone looking at an 8500GT is like recommending a brand new mercedes to someone looking at a second hand mitsubishi for that matter. It just isn't useful in the discussion.
Anyway, back on topic:
It may not seem like I do, but I partially agree with mattisdada, he just could have worded it a bit better.
If you don't mean to play games with it and all your software (especially video editing software etc.) works fine, don't upgrade.
If you have problems with e.g. video editing software, upgrading your card might work, but is not guaranteed to do so. I solved a problem like this only once with a new graphics card.
If you want to upgrade to play modern games at quite high quality, you probably won't be satisfied with the 8500GT's performance. In that case, save up some more money and buy a higher end card like mattisdada mentioned.
For low quality gaming, the 8500GT might be ok for now. Just don't expect to be able to play future games with it.
