Ok well I don't know much about video cards, but I thought that the NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT is worse then the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT and the 9800 and a decent card. | ||

Of course the 9800 is better...it's a newer card. That doesn't make the 9600 bad, though. It's just older. You'll be able to play any game out right now with it. | ||

What the fuck are you thinking? what does ram have to do with video cards? :o 9600gt is pretty dated, you will be able to play most games but with newer games you usually have to turn a few settings down esp at higher res. i'd go for a 9800. also that processor wont be as good as a high end dual core for intensive games like l4d and stuff. | ||

It´s not a big deal if you once think the GraKa is to bad for you to get a new one later, if you get the full comp now for a special price | ||

For a laptop, a 9600 is pretty damn good. It vastly outperforms the 8600GT I'm using right now, and I'm still running every game on the market. | ||

Wrong - the 9800 isn't a later card, it's from a different market segment. It's a huge upgrade from the 9600 which is a joke. The price is insanely high when you can get the Acer 5930 for so so much less with the same gfx card and thus essentially the same gaming performance. | ||
