    Think your graphics card is hot? Think again...

    After running the Unigine Island benchmark, which my 8600GT scored 8fps average @ 1440x900 resolution, I was sad. The benchmark has awesome graphics but my fps is so low!

    If anyone wants to try their card, install phoronix test suite: http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/r..._1.2.2_all.deb

    And then paste this command in the terminal (PTS doesn't have a gui yet, will soon) to compare against my laptop:

    phoronix-test-suite benchmark vadi-28416-17373-7833

    Oh, and screenshots of the benchmark: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12835

    I'm gonna run it on my Q6600, 512 MB 8600GTS, 2 GB RAM computer to see what happens!

    Edit:
    I got 8.36 FPS XD.

    Antialiasing: 8x Anisotropic Filtering: 4x both set from Nvidia control panel.
    If I disable them:10.72 FPS

    Crysis on High(XP) run like crap on this PC( worse than the benchmark). Crysis on medium runs quite well.

    You were using better drivers than me: 173.14.12 That's cheatin!

    No need. I have 8800GT and screams along. Crysis runs under XP at 45+ FPS at 1280x1024 x2AA

    See, I thought you were talking about temperature.

    And you could have asked me any time. I would have told you that the 8600GT was a midrange card and therefore, not that hot. Granted, it's not a piece of crap either.

    Just try the benchmark!

    Oh and you can use Envy to get latest drivers. But they didnt really give me much of a performance improvement

    I got a four year old PC with 1GB of ram, integrated graphics card, and a Athlon 64 bit 3200+ clocked processor at 2.2GHz. This puny little desktop would be melted by something like that!
