All of the GTS cards offer similar performance in X3. There is only a spread of about 5 FPS between the best performing, and not-so-best performing, of the GTS cards.
With
Company of Heroes (we are
not using the DirectX 10 patch, by the way), it is noteworthy how well the XFX 8600 GT performs with AF and AA on. If you just bought a XFX 8600 GT, installed it, and then kept one eye on the
Company of Heroes in-game bench, and one eye on your bank statement, a big grin might appear on your face, as if by magic.
