8600GTS vs. HD 3850 (Value NOT Performence)

[fhasser]

They will both run almost anything i throw at them, and whats the difference between 120fps and 160fps?

Dear God wake me up. What am I doing buying 8800GT if 8600 and 3850 can run everything on 120+ fps?

Oh dear...

the 8600 surely can NOT run everything you throw at it lol...

In fact it probably can't run anything you throw at it!

haha, that is what I was thinking.. "hmm why did I spent 360 on my gts 512, when an 8600 will run anything at over 100 fps"

oh, incase people havent said this enough... 3850 ftmfw!

How bout we let him buy the 8600, and he can tell us that it sucks for himself? Sometimes people gotta learn the hard way....

I think..

Exactly, after researching benchmarks and FPS marks on test game i was convinced that the 8600gts XXX (XFX overclocked) was still crap. I was sucked in to believe it was good by there clever marketing of A) Overclocking it to make it seem better and B) Free games!.
Im definately going with the HD3850, i hope there is a price drop on them soon too.

maybe he got the pic?
