getting new video card

[BombaTwist]

I'm still deciding whether to get a 8500gt or a 8600gt. Most likely the 8600gt because its better but still deciding.

which 8500gt or 8600gt should i get(example: evga msi, etc), im not familiar with which brand is over which in these series.

Can you help me choose one for both 8500gt and 8600gt?

If i get a 8500gt, i don't want to spend over $100 for it because i'd rather get a 8600gt.

If i get a 8600gt, i don't want to spend over $150 for it because i'd rather get a 8600gts.

For a 8500gt: this MSI 8500gt doesn't look bad neither does this EVGA 8500gt.

For a 8600gt: i'm clueless

evga is my personal preference. msi is good also.

for the 8600gt's

which one looks best out of this list?

The cards that are under $150 that is.

ugh.. EVGA's over $150 x.x

edit: evga 8600gt for $149

the XFX due to its higher clock speeds, otherwise they all look the same

[BombaTwist]

looks like my choices come down to

XFX 8600gt

and

EVGA 8600gt

Newegg evga link

looks like the xfx is better
