Nvidia's high-end cards have been out for already months, but only recently they launched their middle price range of the 8-series cards. The fastest of the new cards is 8600GTS, the second is 8600GT and then there's the 8500GT. The family also contains Geforce 8400 and 8300 cards, but those are only available for OEM manufacturers.

The good news is that the Foxconn 8600 GTS is one of the lowest priced 8600 GTS cards and can be found online from $189. Foxconn also bundles a couple utilities with their Foxconn 8600 GTS graphics cards, one of the applications is VirtualDrive v10 and the other is RestoreIT v7.

There are many Geforce 8600GTS models to pick from, and to be honest these videocards are virtually all re-branded nVidia reference cards. This is good, it ensures quality and reliability, but it does make standing out a little tougher. The Foxconn 8600GTS-256 is a pretty plane example of what's available, and it is priced nicely too.

The previous mid-range cards from NVIDIA (6600 GT, 7600 GT) redefined what was possible in terms of high levels of performance for not too much money, and while the 8600 GTS certainly follows on this tradition, it just doesn't feel as awe-inspiring. While it does change the level of performance you can get for £130, it?s not by a mind blowingly dramatic amount - you're looking at slightly above 7900 GT levels of performance here. Though the 8600 GTS may not be as ground breaking as previous generations, but it certainly brings a lot to the table for the money.
