Lately i was considering to buy myself a new video card because my current one is already outdated.I consider it outdated because new games doesn't support it anymore (like Bioshock, Medal of Honor:Airborne, Mc Collin Dirt, and more games that will come in the future and its because it doesn't support 3.0 shaders ... )

Now i would like to know which one of the following cards should i buy?

GeForce EN8600GTS 256M Asus or Gigabyte
GeForce 8600GTS Super (512MB) Palit
Radeon EAH2600XT D4/HTDI/256M Asus or a 512MB DDR3 from Palit

Go to newegg.com & do a search for each individual card. Check if any reviews were given by customers.

Personally all the 8600's are mid range cards. With the exception to the overclocked XFX XXX.

Checked that site site and it doesnt have the Palit version of those cards
and also on all reviews everyone saying that the card runs everything fine..
so its kinda hard to choose <_<

Also is Gigabyte GeForce 8800GTS 320MB is a good card? or its better to take a 8600GTS instead

The 8800 gts is certainly a much safer and better bet then a 8600, the 8600 only has 32 pixel pipeline shaders while the 8800 has 96, i currently have an 8800 gtx with 128 pipelines, and a friend of mine has the 8800 gts 320 mb edition of MSI, we both cranked up Bioshock and Jericho to max settings and it runs perfectly, i cant say very much about the 8600.The 8800 gts 320 mb edition usually comes at a pretty good price and i'd highly recommend it over the 8600. But make sure you have a power supply that can support an 8800 if you do end up getting one.

Personally I've had really good luck with EVGA and BFG video cards. I've used Asus and Gigabyte motherboards quite a bit, but never any of their video cards so I can't really say whether they're good or not. I haven't heard anything bad about them, though.

If it's still up: Wait for the next generation of Geforce-Cards which should be coming end of this year. Right now none of the DX10-Cards can actually perform well enough on DX10-Games, maybe due to bad programming of the games and/or the drivers. But as future games won't need less ressources I wouldn't recommend a card below GTS640/GTX - but these aren't cheap.
Also, there's going to be a new "generation" of GTS-cards coming up which is slightly better than the old ones - just wait a few more weeks, I think it's worth it.

nvidia ready launched 8800gt.

[predator101]

buy the new nvidia xfx 880 gt, costs 249 dollars and really good performer

[teamrecycle]

i think the 8800GT would be a good choice as well
i think it is pretty much the cheapest option to play the latest gen of FPS

Radeon EAH2600XT no doubt mate, good quality and good price, at least here in Spain. 8600 and 8800 series no XFX = shit.
