8600m GT would be the only other option apart from what he has,I would have thought the 8400m GS would have played CSS fine ?

There are rumors that the 8800 will be made to work with the 1720. I changed out the 8400 to the 8600gt and was thrilled with the difference, even though the 8600 is still sub par among currently released high end cards.

No it's not out yet... As the poster above you said: There are RUMORS that it MIGHT work sometime in the FUTURE.

The best for the 1720 today is the 8600gt.
