i just bought a new computer and need to upgrade the graphics card so that i can play games because the computer came with the standard Intel graphics 950 (or whatever) and according to www.systemrequirementslab.com it really won't play anything that is new because of the shaders, MB, and stuff. i have already upgraded the power supply to 500watts. my question is is there really a differance between the GeForce 8400, 8500, and 8600 cards out there? yes, i know about higher core clock speed being better, higher memory interface, as well as the memory supposally being better, but is there really that much differance between the three?i'm not a hardcore gamer, i just want to play half-life, guild wars, halo, and some of the new games out there. i know that you can get both 8500 and 8600 in both 256 and 512, but would 8500-512 be the same as 8600-256?
