Point of View GeForce 8600 GTS Review

The GeForce 8600 GTS itself is a very well positioned chip in terms of performance and price. The newcomer slices the performance spectrum right down the center from the GeForce 8800 GTX perspective. Yes indeed, in between you still have the GeForce 8800 GTS which comes in two formats, being just the difference in the amount of memory. But with the GeForce 8600 series you can have a DirectX 10 capable card with very nice performance at a damn nice price tag.

We actually liked the Point of View GeForce 8600 GTS as it offers decent performance, and you can unlock some extra potential. We got a very pleasant surprise when overclocking the GeForce 8600 GTS, and could reach a top speed of 770MHz core and 2250MHz memory. Yeah you saw that right, and on top of that the shader clock which controls the stream processors increased to 1620MHz as well. The Point of View GeForce 8600 GTS offers stellar performance, 256MB of memory, and features of the flagship GeForce 8800 GTX in a single slot solution. What more can you ask for?
