GeForce 8600 GTS Roundup

Zitat

If price is no object though, and you’re willing to go all-out, BFG’s GeForce 8600 GTS OC2 with ThermoIntelligence clearly stands out. The card delivered some of the best 3D performance in our benchmarks, while at the same time running with very low thermals despite its high clock speeds.

Because of this, while we’re impressed with the potential of the BFG card, quite frankly it’s currently a terrible value at today’s prices. This is where EVGA’s e-GeForce 8600 GTS Superclocked and XFX’s GeForce 8600 GTS XXX Edition come in.

With very attractive pricing, heat pipe cooling, and an excellent game bundle, the Gigabyte GV-NX86S256H is easily the best value of all the cards in this roundup: these cards are currently selling for under $200 at many online retailers.
