If you already got it you will soon find out by yourself I guess. It's a mid-end card from 2 generations ago so it will run AH2 fine and choke on newer titles but probably still be playable.

my GSO was only 128-bit
-
I use that card. No issues in AH.

being a A+ certified tech doesnt make you a expert on the 100's of video cards available. i really hate to break it too ya. if you think that it does then your not as bright as your trying to make yourself be with the comment trying to poke at me. just cause its a 3850 doesnt mean its a stock 3850 as with any other card. there are many flavors of 3850's and as with the 9600 GSO's i seen 5 different versions with different core speeds, memory sizes, and memory interfaces. and usually i look online for scores that compair the two. be sometimes it good to ask about actually use in the field. which is why i asked.

yeah i usually use that site too but again it doesnt account for the different flavors of each type .

You can change the clock speeds to cover all the "flavors" you want

Yeah I didn't have a problem distinguishing the 8800 GTS flavors.
-
you did know the 8800 GTS is a 9600 GSO too

No it isn't, you proved that. I have an 8800GTS KO that has been nothing short of rock solid.

I initially thought that the above response was a bit harsh...after further research I see that it was generous.

Stick around bro, this is entertainment. It usually delivers as well.

the 9600 GSO and the 8800 GTS use the same G92 chip (except a few flavors that use the newer G94 core) .. i didnt prove anything other then that flavor of 9600 couldnt be modded to the 8800 GTS. and its the same reason why you can mod some 9600's GSO to 8800 GTS .. if you knew 1/2 of what you where talking about you'd know this
and here is the step by step proof of it being done

....and I soft-moded a ati 9500 to 9800 pro speeds......so what?.
My problem was not realizing that you were either a troll or an ignoramus.

Most of us KNOW what we are talking about here. But only one of us has sent a deliberately torpedoed 9600GSO back to the manufacturer.
-
lol .. i never sent it back to the manufactor? i RMA'd back to newegg.. wow your wrong again. thats twice. what does that have to do with the point at hand. that the 9600 GSO is a rebranded 8800 GTS.
as far as the
the soft mod to 9500 to 9800 yes i know

It isn't a "rebranded 8800GTS", you sending a card back to "whoever" proves this.
-
umm yes it is hate to break it too you.. its the same G92 core ...
http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2008/04/29/nvidia-introduces-geforce-9600-gso/1
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_9_Series#New_codename_scheme
It is worth noting that all of the GeForce 9 series is technically similar to the G92 GeForce 8 series (8800GT/GTS 512), except for the use of slightly higher rated and clocked video memory. Also in the 9800GTX+ and some 9800GT, a manufacturing processing shrink to 55nm was added. However the architecture of the G92 is identical, meaning clock for clock identical performance.[/qoute]

No troubles at all playing any new title with a ATI HD 3850 card. Playing Far Cry 2 on settings maxed out FPS pegs at an average of 42fps. In FEAR 2, settings all set to max, FPS pegs an average of 46fps. Only game I get a big choke down on is Empire Total War when I have 2 armies of 1000 men or more facing off against each other.

After licking several of the above VC's, I sent them all back cuz none of them tasted like Bacon. In fact, all of the flavors tasted the same. How disappointing. :frown:

i got my card today .. and i had ordered a 3850 and they sent me a 4850 instead.. i was like OMG!

am running the PNY 9600GSO w/768 DDR3 - it'll play crisis at 35+ FPS,1600x1200 at medium settings, COD4 45+FPS 1600x1200 max settings smooth as glass
AH2 uses less than 100mb of the 768 available, 1600x1200 all textures and details to max at 60fps
good card for the money and from what i can tell, overkill for AH - paid about $80 for it, have seen it for $50
-
You can't trust the "memory used" field, it does not ever display the memory used and the memory available. It's a DirectX flaw or something, so Skuzzy says. You will use more memory with higher texture resolution and with preloaded textures, etc.

I guess you play 1024x768 then because even FEAR 1 didn't manage to run 46fps average at 1680x or 1920x on reviews of hd3850.
