is there a big difference between geforce 8500 with ddr2 and 9500 with ddr3?
i ve a geforce8500 with 512 ddr2 i ve found a 9500 with512 ddr3 with a good price should i buy it?
will it make a difference in games?
An 8500 will net you around 12.8 GB/s, a 9500 will max out at 25.6 with GDDR3. The 9500 will be about twice as fast as your old card so it should make a big difference.
Of course a 9800 GTX runs at 70.4 GB/s so it's all relative. Look here for the chart: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/132
