hahahahahahha

man you're gonna have to make some changes to this page to make it at all useful.

I told you that I left some things blank. Mike will fix it tomorrow when the official press release is out.

Monday, April 16, 2007 9:58:43 PM

I can fix it. Its not supposed to have 32 TMU's in any case.

Typo above:
"Gigabyte GV-NX85T256H" should be "Gigabyte GV-NX86T256H"
(url is correct)

Also, the Gigabyte GV-NX86T256H does not list HDCP support, but the Gigabyte GV-NX85T256H does ...

Nicely reported. Core and memory clock speeds seem to be very flexible. There ought to be some interesting overclocks with the GeForce 8600GT.

Correction
The Gigabyte website (http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/VGA/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2515) only lists the GV-NX86T256D, but the manual (http://asia.giga-byte.com/FileList/Manual/vga_manual_gv-nx86t256d_e.pdf) lists:
GV-NX86T256H
GV-NX86T256D
GV-NX86T256HP
and notes that only the GV-NX86T256H/GV-NX86T256HP support HDCP. These two are not actually listed on the website, only in the manual.

Oops.

Well, I just pre-ordered an Asus 8600GT! Should be in my box soon. I'll come back here and give you all my thoughts on the card as soon as I can...

A 7600GT with DX10. Nice card for those who're still using 2003/4 cards like me. I'm a happy owner of a 9600XT :D

It's a nice performer.

Wednesday, May 16, 2007 12:53:37 PM

Its actually a 7950 GT with DX10.

It not a 7950gt its a slightly slower 7800gtx with dx10, but u can overclock it to hell and back

Nope to both of you track and v1p3r. It's its own card it's closer to the 7600gt.(Not by just name but by clocks and mem bandwith)

I bought this card just to try it out.played bf 2142 1280x860 all high 4aa flawlessly,incredible value.Plyed bf 2142 smoother than a 7900gs that I had also.

Great Card big diffrence from 7600/7900.

This card performs roughly the same as a 7900 GS/GT , if not worse .

It's better than them. Definitely not by a whole lot, but better.

Nope... it barely competes with a 7900 GS actually .

The Galaxy 8600GT has 600 core and 800 mem (1.2ns). I know because I have one ;)

Wow... this card is the most popular card now. A great bang for the buck, but the 8800 GTS has a better price to performance ratio if you ask me.

Just dont get the Gigabyte version which is prone to overheating! (mines gets to 80-86C)
And its clocked at 600 720

The XFX non-overclocked model can be had for 130 on Newegg now, considering thats about 20 bucks more then a 7600 GT it's a definite good buy. Just don't look to have good FPS past Medium on any DX10 games.

@anonymous : 80-86C isn't that bad... but if you don't like it going so hot , you can always get an aftermarket cooler .
@second anonymous : You'll probably get decent FPS past medium in Crysis ... it's the only well optimized DX10 game I know . Bioshock too . Others I wouldn't be sure .
Also , if you aren't happy with it's performance , you can always OC it like hell .

Confirmed with XFX support none of their 8600GT or 8500GT are HDCP...anyone test this yet?

@ anonymous You are correct. They are not listed as being HDCP. I wonder why I entered them wrongly. Maybe the edited their pages.

At around what temp would this card go nuclear?
I was wonderin cuz my temps rise to around 75C On Oblivion.

The 8 series seems to be able to take some heat, but 75C is above the red zone for pretty much any hardware. Look at your fan speeds, and adjust them using Riva Tuner if their set too low. If your using one of the silent ones, make sure you have adequate exhaust moving over the card.

The X1900 cards went up to 90C and it was normal for it... same with the HD 2900s .
And 80-86C under load isn't that bad.

Friday, July 06, 2007 3:10:12 AM

anonymous

90C is like 200F, and silicon under that much heat for extended periods of time suffers from electron mitigation much, much faster then normal, usually damaging the core in 2 years or less. Thats why processor temps above 60C is considered a bad thing, even if stable, and GPUs are made of silicon as well so I assume the problem is the same.

I wnt to buy an inno3d 8600GT (limited budget) but how long will it take for 8800gt to go down to the current price of 8600gt?

temp in our country is pretty high (28c-35C), can the stock heatsink of inno3d 8600GT handle such hot environment? because i had an old 6200A (w/c later i installed a bigger heatsink), temp goes higher and higher until the system restarts/hangs (no overclocking) same as to my previous pc's w/ the older MX versions (although it would take longer time to overheat). - comments pls...

When a mid range graphics card competes with it like the x800 series the only went that low when they were competing against the 7600 gt.

Just put more fans or keep the case open or use A.C.I don't think it's that hot inside a room and I live in the Phillipines and have not encountered a crash with a 2.88 ghz C2D(allendale) 1ghz OC and overclocked 8600 gt clocked to 600mhz though I have 3 case fans because my PC is used by 4 people (including me)

Hi, I've just bought a nvidia 8600GT to run Bioshock. The game fired up fine and all seemed superb until 5-10 mins after starting the game play. The game stopped and a fault report came up saying send report: bioshock.exe to microsoft, then it closed game. I tried battlefield2 and as soon as I looged into a server online, got in a chopper, it did it again. This time it was same error but now report explorer.exe. What has gone wrong as the install all seems to be fine. Please help( if you can) Thank you.

What racing games? I have stuttering in GTR2. I own a MSI 8600GT OC that replaced a MSI RX1650XT. I didn�t had stuttering with that. Anyway GPUREVIEW in the last news says that the shader processors for this card is set to 1508, but I think mine came with just 1180.

@Voodoo Almost all 8600 GTs have a shader clock of 1,180MHz. There are a few specific cards that have overclocked shader processors. Those specific cards are listed in my news post.

I don't think the TMUs are represented properly as
it has the equivalent of 32 TMUs on texturing addresses (filtering is still=to 16 TMUs though) as it does 8 instead of 4 operations compared to the 8800 series.

I got XFXs version of the 8800 at N3w33g.com (for 100 bucks) and this card pumps out enough power to play Bioshock and probably Crysis (although the site said you need the 8800GTS to play) I bet it will work on something as low as the 7950 or the 6800 GTX my old 6800 GTX ran Vista for 2 months with no problems (replaced with the 8600)

I'm stuck in the past with a 6800 and am lookin' to upgrade, but I'm on a fairly tight budget. After reading several of these comments, I see people saying that this card doesn't perform as well as it should. Is this card worth it or is there a cheaper (but not faulty) alternative?

The 8600GT is just a bit faster than a 7600GT, so don't be mislead by many of the ignorant comments on here.
Also, DX10 means absolutely nothing in a card as weak as this.
You're better off with a 7900GS or an X1950 Pro.

256mb of gddr 3 ofcoarse unless you game at unplayable high resolutions(textures or display) as the gddr 2 does not have enough bandwidth for such a resolution in which the 512 mb will actually be useful.

@anonymous: rather get the DDR3 version, as there is negligible speed difference between 256MB and 512MB.

And plus, the DDR3 will be faster, and mean faster performance.

This card is one of the best overclockers ive ever had. It runs on the stock cooler at 730mhz, 1650mhz shader, and 1800mhz memory absolutely 100% stable. The speed you end up with for the price is beautiful, its still no beast but its a clocker!

Better than 7900 in general - not really. For newer games it may be faster (like Oblivion, Crysis) but it's rather slow for Crysis except on Medium quality.

For running HDTV, doesn't matter which version (although the 256 DDR3 is better for games).

I'll rather save up for a 9600GT or a 3850/3870 then buy a 8600GT/2600XT. It's at least twice as fast than the 8600GT.

Depends game to game the 8600 gt has the upper hand when anti aliasing is on(when off ATI tends to get the lead) and on games like STALKER,Oblivion,Crysis,SupCom(noticeable performance difference) while the ATI(HD2600XT) takes the lead with Source based ones/older games.

Friday, May 02, 2008 1:17:23 PM

anonymous with the 7900 question: While the 86** series cards might barely edge the 7900GS in some games, upgrading to even a standard 8600GTS from an 7900GS would not really be worth it. In some cases, the 8600GTS would lose to the 7900GS games that are 2-3 years older. Source: Personal experience and a variety of benchmarks.

Friday, May 09, 2008 4:02:32 AM

x600 series cards should be compared with the previous generation's x800 that's why this card looks so bad people keep comparing it to something that a x600 was never compared against in previous generations a faster clocked rehash.

While the performance of this card is barely improved from a 7600 GT, people overlook that it has a small form factor and only needs half of the power of its predecessor. In my view this makes it superior to the 7600 for OEM systems by IBM or DELL that require small form factor cards and have weak power supplies. I am currently running an 8600 GT in an IBM Thinkcentre with only a 300 watt power supply.

The variant of the 8600 GT I have is a PNY factory overclocked model. It can play Crysis on 1152 x 864 resolution with all settings on high except shaders and shadows. Frame rate varies from 20 to 30 FPS under these settings.

@Majestic Lizard

The TDP is lower, but actual power consumption is roughly the same

The main advantage the 8600GT has over the 7600GT is the 8600GT does better in shader heavy games

NO man i found this card so so so useful.My configuration is Pentium 4 3.2ghz ram 2.75 gigs and 512 xfx 8600gt.i played Farcry2 ultra high and 8x aa smoothly.i got 35 frames.And cod5 with 4x aa i played and got 39fps.so i donno why it seems a good card 2 me.OOO i played gta 4 high and draw distence is 43 and shadow 10.i played it around 30 fps and more.so those have a old pc.u can boost it by 8600 gt with a low budjet.if u dont beleive my words then try yourself.u must b astonished.
