PNY Verto 8500GT video card Review

PNY Verto 8500GT GeForce with 512 meg of ram

When I decided to upgrade my computer I wanted to find a decent but inexpensive video card that would play the latest and greatest computer games. One of my specifications is that the card should have enough memory built into the card that it would not pull any shared memory from the system. Another feature I am looking for is the processor that will handle the higher graphics that the newer computer games are utilizing with the NVidia specification.

I found three such video cards, one from ATI, X1650XT, one from Visiontek, Radeon X1550, and this one from PNY. The last video card I bought five years ago had 128 meg of ram, support for NVidia, it lasted a long time but with as time goes so does the driver support, the last update for the card was two years ago, not bad for a $100 card.

All three of these cards are very good video cards, how ever the Radeon chip set has problems with some resolutions where as the NVidia does not. Also both of the Radeon cards only have 256 meg of ram. So I chose the PNY card. If you were looking for a card that would display Multimedia then the Radeon would be a better choice, but for gaming and most Multimedia the PNY NVidia card has the upper hand.PNY Verto 8500GT GeForce with 512 meg of ram
