PNY Verto Geforce 8500GT | 512MB Casual Gamers Graphics Card

I’ve been known to focus on the high end hardware to much and haven’t really looked at the older hardware for those casual computer users and gamers who are working on a tight budget. That’s why were taking a look at a relatively old graphics card, the PNY Geforce 8500GT. Although only just over a year old the graphics card industry moves fast and you soon forget about those once high spec cards that become a bargain for the regular computer user or casual gamer.

As its DirectX 10 compatible, if your playing on Vista you’ll be able to utilize the graphics performance increase that vista provides. But even on xp you’ll notice a nice increase in performance if you’ve upgraded from older cards such as the Geforce 6600.

In terms of what games you’ll be able to play on this card, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. You’ll be able to play the popular Call of Duty 4 on Medium to High settings, and in the ultimate test of computing power Crysis you’ll be able to play on Low/Medium settings depending on your CPU.

The Geforce 8500GT is a great casual card, as it lets you play the latest gamest games, admittedly not at the best frames per second but on the other hand at its price it doesn’t break the bank.
