The 8600GT series are good for gamers on a budget. It's certainly a lot more powerful than previous Nvidia gpu's at the same prices, but this time it also comes with DX10 support. The Calibre P860 wants to portray it's self as an exclusive item. I'm afraid I don't get that feeling when I first got the video card. There is pretty much no bundle at all. At least put a few games in the box just to make it seem more special than the standard 8600GT from Sparkle. Performance wise this video card is very fast right out of the box, the extra 265mb is also a nice feature. You are able to tweak it just a lil bit more over the already highly overclocked GPU and Ram. It's just too bad that they stuck such a loud fan on there. The add-on card is a nice feature, but pretty much only a gadget since I'm not looking at my card every now and then to see what the temperature is..... Overall, not a bad choice though. I loved it during the duration I was using it.

In this test, we are going to have a look on a graphics card from Sparkle. We have recently evaluated an 8800 Ultra from Sparkle, which scored a high test score, mostly because of its custom cooling feature. The card for this test is an 8600GT with 512 DDR3 RAM. Sparkle Calibre 8600GT comes in a black box with a handle on top.
