I find this difficult to believe, unless the 8600 is significantly better than I've been led to believe. I was told they perform on par with something like a 6800. |

The 8600GT would be closer to the 7800GT.

It all depends on what settings you use. You could get away with playing CoD4, with low settings, on as little as a 6800GT. |

| Hmm, I remember seeing some tests where the 7900 STOMPED the 8600, and the 7900 is basically a tweaked out 7800. Can't be that much difference between the two. |

I don't know what to tell you  I played it last night for a couple of hours with all of the settings on high, the antialiasing on 2x at 1024x768 with everything turned up to "High". Never dropped below 30fps and there was no system lag whatsoever. |

At that res, it sounds about right to me. |

I can play it at 1280x1024 if I want. I just don't see much of a difference with the anti-aliasing turned on. I like my extra 5fps. |

I've got an 8600GT (factory O/C) and it smokes COD4 @ 1280.
The 8600 cards got a bad rap because they didn't perform as well as expected (people had REALLY high expectations for 150K at the time), but they still perform pretty freaking good! |

Alright, well 1024x768 30+ frames a second sounds about like what I would have expected actually.
I guess I assumed you meant high res 60fps or something. That's what happens when you assume. |

It's perfectly playable. My FPS is fine, and nothing would consistute "slowdown" or "laggy play".
Let's talk about Crysis. I can run that one at medium settings without any significant slowdown, spare when I am looking at the entire island at once. |

With that engine, it would look better to turn of AA, turn on AF and play at 1280. You may even get away with turning up some of the texture details. FSAA on the 8600 pummels framerates on both the 256 and 512MB models thanks to the crippled bus. |
