Club 3D 8600 GT OVERCLOKED 512MB - World's Best 8600GT

Club 3D introduced today a new graphic card out of the GeForce 8 series, a graphic card which according to Club 3D surpasses all standard "overclocked" and "superclocked" special versions you have seen before. The Club 3D 8600GT Overclocked (CGNX-G862DD) is based on NVIDIA G84 chipset, delivering unique 1600MHz 512MB GDDR3 memory and a GPU speed of 620MHz. This is the first card to market with such high clock speeds and 512MB of GDDR3 graphic memory. The Club 3D 8600GT Overclocked Edition is also using a special heavy duty low noise cooler to guarantee low temperatures and ensure rock solid operation. Link to the PDF datasheet.

BFG Releases GeForce 8600 GTS OC and OC2 ThermoIntelligence Video Cards

BFG Technologies has released two new GeForce 8600GTS graphics cards with redesigned cooling. The new BFG NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS ThermoIntelligence fansink was designed from the ground up by BFG Technologies to provide exceptional cooling performance and replace NVIDIA's reference fansink. Some of the differentiating elements include moving the fan to the opposite end of the heatsink to eliminate a dead air zone and increasing the surface area over the GPU for improved heat dissipation. The end result is 5C lower GPU temperature on average vs. the NVIDIA reference fansink with a single card setup. For power users running dual cards in an NVIDIA SLI configuration, the thermal performance gets even better with the primary card operating at up to 11C cooler. Both the BFG NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS OC and OC2 256MB ThermoIntelligence PCIe graphics cards are available now through the BFG Web Store.

Exacto... Mas 512 mb nestas gráficas não tem grande utilidade...

Só consideraria melhor que a XFX se viesse com memórias de 1.2 ou 1.0 ns

Guru3D takes a further look at the XFX GeForce 8600 GT Fatal1ty Edition, a product which will bring a couple of new features to the existing product line for sure. The Fata1ty Geforce 8600 GT graphics card comes with it's GPU core pre-overclocked at 620 MHz and 256MB memory clocked at (2x) 850 MHz. That's not that special, yet it's doing that while being passively cooled; and that makes it a rather special product:

None the less, you can purchase the product at roughly 170 EUR/USD and quite honestly, the passive cooler alone makes that a worthy purchase. It's already comes pre-overclocked, yet can be clocked even better, also I like the black dark color theme this card has, it makes it stand out from the rest for sure. Combine that with the two years warranty that's a good deal. I do have to say that if you plan to buy it at like 170-180 USD then the GTS becomes an option as well, it will offer roughly the same performance though.

More general speaking, the GT is a product series for those with a 1024x769 or 1280x1024 pixels sized monitor. It'll offer you decent 3D gaming performance and will allow you to enable AA and AF in most situations as well. We have not discussed this in the article obviously the card is a great card for multimedia playback as well. Combine it with the proper playback software or PureVideo and it'll even decode and enhance HD content over the GPU (except for VC-1 !). Disappointing to see is that the card is not HDCP compatible. Aimed at the audience as a full Vista ready product and the fact that we live in 2007 .. I say all current generation mid-range cards should have it.

With the 8600 Series of products comes a DX10 capable product (backwards compatible obviously). This XFX graphics card is offering decent performance up-to a resolution of 1280x1024 in most games which makes it an interesting product for a lot of you on that 170 USD/EUR budget.​
