well i tend to make my computers last. Heck my last computer that i am still using is 4.5 years old now [img]tongue.gif[/img] . My current video card is a 5200 gforce fx [img]smile.gif[/img] . (just playing old games

). I havent played oblivion or any other goody games for now

.

I did do a small comparison check. YOu did say you bought that card for 200 Euro = 323Aud.

The 8600 GTS is selling for 261 Aud while the GT card is selling for 189 Aud.

Looking at Toms Hardware for comparison

The 8600 Video card seems to be priced cheaper and better performance than the 7900 GTX and supports DX10. Of course you did buy your video card a while back so the price difference must be big. But I did check my online store for the gforce 7900 and 7950 and they dont have any of those models available in thier online shop. Wierd.
