This being true, it would put the 86GTS on range with a 7900GT/GTX.

He claims it is very system limited since the system is only a AMD 3000+ with 1GB of ram.

He claimed to buy it for about $100USD. Most likely someone stole it from the factory and sold him.

for those who think a 128bit bus is adequate:

performance drops off a cliff.

At the top of the mid-range lineup is the GeForce 8600GTS. The G84-based graphics core clocks in at 675 MHz. NVIDIA pairs the GeForce 8600GTS with 256MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1000 MHz. The memory interfaces with the GPU via a 128-bit bus.

i think you meant 128bit bus?

anyway yeah, 128bit bus sucks the biggest cock ever. might as well pick up a X1950 or something instead, it hasnt got DX10 but'll have a nicer time at higher resolutions and with higher res textures

i think my old X1900XTX scored around 5000-5500 in 06 and that was with a single core 2.5Ghz A64, so its just as fast in 3Dmock and probably better in games.

i did indeed, my typo is now corrected.

thanks
