x1900 will be better for games, but if you don;t game as much these days then the 8600 would be better for its purevideo 2 decoder and lower power consumption and less heat output.

it all depends on your needs. if u need all out gaming speed then option one is what you shoudl go with.

Hi,

I dont game on the PC anymore. I use my Xobx 360 for that

So the 8600 is great for Aero grahics, DVD's, graphics programs - Better than XT1900XTX?

Thanks

if you don;t game on the pc anymore then stick with the 8600. should also get more relase cash for the x1900.

Hi,

I have both cards which I can source for the same prices.

So still choose the 8600 GTS - better all round card?

Thanks

you need to make up your mind pal. do you have both cards in your posession or not?

Hi,

Yes I have both

Thinking more on the 8600 due to having HDCP support
