This card is really great for those who are looking for an upgrade from an old card, like a GeForce 6600 GT or Radeon X800. It offers a huge leap in performance over those older cards. The inclusion of a Zalman VF900-Cu cooler is a big bonus. Not only does this particular cooler perform really well, it is also very quiet. Kudos to Galaxy!

If you have been waiting for NVIDIA to release a cheap, mid-range DirectX 10 graphics card, you need wait no longer. The new NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS offers not only the same unified shader technology and DirectX 10 support, it also comes with a spanking new video processor that can completely take over H.264 decoding.

If you have been waiting for NVIDIA to release a cheap, mid-range DirectX 10 graphics card, you need wait no longer. The new NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS offers not only the same unified shader technology and DirectX 10 support, it also comes with a spanking new video processor that can completely take over H.264 decoding. Today, we revisit our review of the Sparkle GeForce 8600 GTS. We redid all the benchmarks at higher resolutions with the latest NVIDIA driver, and added the new DirectX 10 Company Of Heroes benchmark to the list. This will give us a better gauge of its performance with larger monitors that are becoming particularly common as well as an examination of the GeForce 8600 GTS' DirectX 10 capabilities. Join us as we take a look at one of the first GeForce 8600 GTS cards to hit the market - the Sparkle GeForce 8600 GTS. Based entirely on the reference card, this card is representative of the other GeForce 8600 GTS cards in the market.

Most of you will surely know the name Sparkle, and actually it isn't the first time around that we look at a product from Sparkle Computer. After we saw the quite successful introduction of the GeForce 8800 series, it is time to take a step back and look at what the mid-range segment hat to offer. This is again the playground of NVIDIA with their newly released GeForce 8600 series, bringing the DirectX 10 technology to all who couldn't afford the high-end version. Actually, NVIDIA did launch more then one mid-range card, but the most in favor is certainly the GeForce 8600 GTS edition. Sparkle actually had their card ready from day one, although all just following the reference design.

The fact is that the 8600 is a "quarter" of the 8800. We do not mean dimensions, of course, but technologies and GPU capabilities. 128 stream processors of 8800 vs. 32 of 8600. 32 texture units vs. 16 (tests indicate there's only 8). 384-bit bus vs. 128-bit bus. And so forth.

The GeForce 8800 GTX was significantly faster than anything available at the time, and even today it still holds the performance crown for Nvidia. Also cut-down 8800 GTS versions were also very impressive and soon became favourites amongst gamers. However, only a small percentage of gamers can afford to drop over $300 on a graphics card. This means the real battle, the battle of sales, takes place at the more affordable $200 - and below - price range. And now finally, after a long wait Nvidia has released their mainstream GeForce 8 series graphics cards, but was the wait worth it?

Albatron has a great product on their hands that you can depend on. By sticking with the NVIDIA design, we are sure that this card is unlikely to fail. The Albatron GeForce 8600 GTS is a well built card devoid of all the bells and whistles that other companies make you pay extra for. For less money you get a quieter, lower heat producing, and reliable card...

Twintech's new GeForce 8600 GTS is based on the NVIDIA reference design using the G84 GPU. It comes with 256 MB of fast GDDR3 memory clocked at 1 GHz, the graphics processor runs at 675 MHz. This is the first DirectX 10 card for the midrange segment with its price tag of around $210.

The new Sparkle NVIDIA 8600 GTS arrived Technic3D. The Graphic Card with DirectX 10 and a small price better than other Graphic Cards? Technic3D will see that in the following Review with 1920x1200 up to 1024x768.

Everyone must surely remember the introduction of the GeForce 8800 series on the last quater of last year by NVIDIA. Well, about 6 months later it is time to reveal again a new product range from NVIDIA which is focussed towards the mid-range graphics card market. They have successfully introduced the first DirectX 10 compliant graphics accelerators for the high-end market, and well now is the moment to do the same for the mid-range segment. This is where the Point of View GeForce 8600 series comes into the picture, and NVIDIA has again two versions available. The first one being the GeForce 8600 GTS, and a lower version with the GT suffix.
