I had that same graphics card way back, it was my first one.
It sucked pretty bad, I could barely play Gmod, then again, I had a 1.6 GHz processor...So I don't know.
I can barely play it on my dad's computer, he has a 9400 GT.

I think I see your problem.

I think I see your problem.

:P
It's actually not as bad as it sounds. Thing ran as fast as hell despite it's processor.
Not on games of course, but everything else.

But still, my dad's computer is a dual core @ 3.1GHz with a 9400 GT and can barely run Fallout 3.
I don't think an 8400 GS can run it very well, probably on lowest settings.
Maybe.

EDIT: And just to clairify, I don't have that computer anymore. My new one is much better, I custom built it myself.

One of the nice things about console gaming is that once you buy it, you know no game for it will make it obsolete.

I don't have to spend 1000 bucks to play L.A Noire on my Xbox360- it will, because it was marketed to. And I don't have to turn the settings down low to make it run good, it will, because it was marketed and made to.

Alot of times the settings are turned down to run well on consoles too.
You can tell on GTA IV and Crysis 2.
And you wouldn't have that problem if you had a good gaming pc. c:

I'm not going to shell out 2,000 bucks to make a game look good.

I play games because their fun.

Who gives a stuff if your Crysis looks like love in a bucket- I'd rather be playing Cortex Command.

Ooh, I love Cortex Command.
I enjoy it more than Crysis 2, infact.

Same here- I've played Crysis and Crysis 2, but you can't shoot out a gun that shoot out rainbow sharks in that game, now can you.

To get any DLC or play online you have to shell out an extra 60.

Also 2000 dollars is a mother loving lie, I can make games look good with 700 dollars without maxing it out completely.

PC: More games, better graphics, free games that are decent, can do more than just play games and music.

Console: Cheap

Thats all I can give the console, because personally I resented playing on it every second.
