nVidia GeForce 8600 graphics card test

Introduction

nVidia has released their affordable GeForce 8600 GT and GTS today, making DirectX 10 available for people on a smaller budget. In our extensive review of the new chip we already have shown you what the new additions are capable of and how they perform compared to their predecessors.

When a new range of nVBidia cards is released this usually means that all partners are trying to be the first to release a model based on the new chip. In this review we look at cards from Foxconn, MSI, Point of View and XFX. The latter also was kind enough to send us a GeForce 8600 GT.
