I need help before i buy my graphics card D:

[General Nick]

I got a 8600GT with 512 VRAM.

It works fine, and I needed it as my 6800 XT just died randomly.


Don't go for 256 VRAM, it's pointless and 512 only costs probably about $5-$10 more.

Hell, go for a 1GB VRAM one.

Aphtonites, before you go and upgrade your graphics card, tell us what processor you have. We need to know this because if your processor is somewhat slow then it would be a waste of money to buy a powerful graphics card because the slow processor would just bottleneck your system.

Didn't think about system bottlenecks. I have trouble considering low end parts in that aspect. My computer doesn't suck stuff so it's never been a concern for me.
