6600Gt or 8500Gt?

[mursht]

Which one is better? Because I have the 6600Gt right now and I want to know if getting this card would be a good upgrade. I know that the 8600 is better but I can't afford it right now and I just want to know if the 8500Gt is better enough to upgrade from the 6600Gt.

Not really. Memory-wise, it's weaker.

It depends.

The 8500GT is not good enough of a deal to be worth it. Save up for a 8800GTS 320mb or 7950GT.

It's weaker in terms of memory bandwidth, not processing power.
