title explains its self.

For PC gaming? Yes, Though you may wish to aim a little higher. e.g. GTX275

For Emulation (Dolphin & PCSX2)? Somewhat. In many cases it can make little difference. Usually depends on the game.

A GTX260 Core 216 should fill your bill nicely.

mine is nearly full speed but the sound is only a bit laggy (just a little) but the Speed is awesome. probably upgrading just for that isn't worth it >_> unless of course it might be a dolphin problem hmm

 

[masta.g.86]

If the sound is a bit laggy, then it's either your CPU isn't fast enough or it's a plugin problem. If it's Dolphin, then a future revision may fix it.

Well its a little bit but only in movie scenes , the movie scenes here they go normal but sound lags 1 second and gets up the other one kinda like frame skipping but in sound ... any ways we are running out of topic then so no really big difference occurred since geforce9500? mm

btw I don't see a point of upgrading unless its about Emulators XD
who (gamer) needs a high end pc just for 1 PC Game.

9500GT is slightly better then the 8600GT
9800GT is slightly better then the 8800GT.

For PC gaming, hell yeah it worth it!

as far as I know , PC Games requires just a 8600GT o.o
Unless some one in a gaming company is crazy and wants to Convert a PS2 To a PC Version oO

 

[-StrikE-]

Don't compare a PS2 to a PC they work in different ways as well as the hardware being different.

PS: it seems the latest stalker for example will need a 9800

 

[gamefreak94]

Regardless, with a 9800GT you'll be able to bump up the resolution and graphics settings a lot more.

And it's only a matter of time before game requirements reach those similar to STALKER: Call of Pripyat.

They already have

Not all do Most still run at playable speeds (though low-medium quality) on my PC.

 

[DarkSamus]

I have been running a 9800GTX for a year now and it has not let me down when running any games as of yet!

I say if a 9800 is all you can afford then get it! But if you have the fuinds go for something like the GTX260 or newer

9800GT is an 8800GT. They're identical with a different name.

 

[DarkSamus]

Yeah! Its just like the 9800GTX+ and the GTX250

ie... exact same thing!

 

[Cid Highwind]

Just avoid the 9800Pro and 9800SE

 

[Ahielia]

Just avoid the 9800Pro and 9800SE

My foster brother actually had a 9800Pro, and it worked well in many games, especially Doom 3

My 9800SE, on the other hand, was total **** for the most part.

 

[DarkSamus]

Doom 3 does nothing to push a gpu now though!

I was running it reasonably well with onboard GPU 2 years ago!
