TweakTown sends word that Asus will soon be selling a 8600 GT that comes with this nifty OCgear hardware overclocking control unit. The unit will allow you to increase the speed of the GPU core, monitor the temperature of the GPU core, adjust the fan speed of the graphics card, adjust the audio volume for your PC and display your current FPS in games. That is a lot of stuff packed into the ol' 5.25 bay!

That is not a negative sign (-), it is the letters "FPS".

I would find more sense in the 8800�s series having this feature. NOt many people who buy a 8600 will OC, while many people who spends around 400 %u20AC will want to OC just to get the maximun of what they have paid for.
