Title: Counter-Strike Source Suggested Video card?
Post by: NiteKnight on December 30, 2007, 06:23:29 PM: Hey,

I'm just wondering, since CS:S did not work on my old Toshiba laptop and I'm getting a new computer. Kind of on a short budget though.. I was just wondering if this video card would be good enough.

So, what do you think?

like matt said, thats not really for gaming, its more for watching movies and stuff. depending on how far graphics you want, 8600gt is a really good card, especially for the price

thats not as good as a 8600gt but its good enough for css

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it!
