    suggest me that would i upgrade from 8400GS(512MB) to 8600GTS(512MB) or not.
    will it be better or not.
    i have xfx630i motherboard.
    i run viewsonic LCD VA1716w with resolution 1440x900 at 75Htz.
    i can afford 8600 but not more than it.
    or should i go to ATI series.

    Don't bother. It's too little difference.

    Well so it seems like you never really had a choice anyways and since it seems that you now 'have' to buy a 8600 then I don't think our recommendations would be rocket science. :p

    A Radeon 4670 will be cheap enough. I heard that they don't sell 8600 anymore. :)

    But now that you bought it, never mind. If you do not play really stressful 3D games like Crysis or Bioshock, your GeForce 8600 GTS should do okay. :thumb:

    Besides, you can always use a lower resolution/graphics quality and overclock. :)
