Been waiting 3 months for these I hope the 8600GTS delivers. If not I might spring for the 8800GTS 320mb or just hold off till the 8900's come out.

Is it just me, or does releasing an 8600 with 128mb of memory seem like a really stupid idea?

Thanks. The Hardware Analysis article is new to me.

"Especially the price point of the GeForce 8600GTS seems attractive as it offers performance which is about 70% of the GeForce 8800GTS at almost half the price."

"Performance for the 8600GT is expected to be roughly on the GeForce 7900GT level"

I just posted some benchmarks from Hardware.fr in the Main GeForce 8600 Thread that confirm the above.

Looking good :thumbsup:

Yet it will sell like mad. So maybe not so stupid.

I know looks are irrelevant but the cards do look nice and tidy.

Also they're quite short which is also nice.
