Details GeForce 8600 series surfaced

The specifications on the GeForce 8600GT and GeForce 8600 Ultra have been revealed with respective price points at an great $150 and $180 USD. When launched these will be the cheapest DirectX 10 compliant cards on the market.

The prices are really competitive and will most likely drive the price of DX9 cards way down significantly. The launch date for these cards is about the same as for when ATI will launch R600, that is, around CeBIT at the second week of March. I do have some doubts about the validity of these specs as there is no valid source .. but if it's true (and granted it looks like it), including that photo of the XFX card .. that 8600 Ultra looks really nice. And that GT ... that looks like the sweet spot for a nice overclocking card for sure.

doh.gif I have better news for you

http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=4775

Looks Plain On The Outside But Lethal Inside

NVIDIA DX10 offerings for the mainstream market are definitely not to be missed and we will be seeing them on display over at the CeBIT in 2 days time. NVIDIA is still right on schedule for G84 launch on April 17th thus beat ATi to deliver DX10 mainstream products. We took an early look on G84 in Feb and we saw some changes on the core clock when we revealed the specs earlier.

Now, the final core clock of 8600 GTS is at 675MHz while 8600 GT is at 540MHz, both lowered from the earlier specs we have seen. The memory clock for 8600 GTS stood at 1GHz using 1ns 256MB GDDR3 memories while memory clock for 8600 GT stood at 700MHz using 1.4ns GDDR3 memories. GeForce 8600 GTS has 8 layers PCB based on P401 design kit while 8600 GT has 6 layers PCB based on P402 design kit. 8600 GTS requires an additional power with the TDP at ~71W while 8600 GT which doesn't requires external power is rated at ~43W TDP.

As promised, we will provide you some glimpse on the performance of the upcoming GeForce 8600 GTS and 8600 GT graphics cards. On a Core 2 Extreme X6800 processor, GeForce 8600 GTS scored a pretty impressive 5,7xx pts in 3DMark06 which is slightly faster than the 7950GT while 8600 GT churned out 4,7xx pts in 3DMark06 overshadowing a 7900GS. It seems that a 128-bit memory interface is not stopping 8600 series from churning out some nice performance.

I just hope that a normal 8600GT can be bought at around RM650 within 3 months, then I will be able to build my new rig with it, together with the reduced price E4300 Core2Duo

Regardless on what their spec is. I will be going ATi/AMD for my next GPU. I have been sticking with nvidia for quite sometime. I wanted to try ATi/AMD cards.

Errr...I think la, do you mean that ppl already grab the GPU so if AMD/ATI counter back with their "better" GC not much ppl will buy it?

No thats not it, name one game that REALLY require DX10 right now or name a game that needs more graphical power that no current card can handle

About the 8600GTS, its looks like a good midrange cards. I will buy it when it comes out

Slightly better? I thought 8600 may be better than or on par with 7800/7900, just like 6800 and 7600. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That means that 8 series is the evolution of 7 series with DX10? Better get 8800 then nod.gif

7-series is often better at DX9 games except when it involves HDR

Just got 8600GTS for my brother's new C2D PC. As usual test drive the card first. On current games not that great. Just OK for me. It's good on Oblivion though. Still miles away in terms of performance compared to my 8800GTS. I think there will be another card between 8800GTS and 8600GTS. I think Nvidia is just milking the market as they are the only DX10 card makers currently. They are holding some cards until AMD make their move.

My opinion, if you have the previous generation cards, stick to them. Upgrade only to the 8800. The 8600 is not really a bad card. It is just a bit of a letdown since the 8800 are monsters.

For me I personally think that 8600 series is mainly better if for new PC buyer, but not that worth for upgrade purpose as the value per performace not there. But that is just for now, who know that it can perform better in up coming DX10 games. smile.gif

Quite true. The 8800gts 320mb really outperforms the 8600 gts

Here's a comparison of midrange graphics cards (between 8800 GTS, 8600 GTS and X1950 pro)

I must say, x1950 pro can still beat the 8600 GTS!! Of course, as in the review, it is not future-proof...... sad.gif

mabye current 8600gts represent romur 8600 ultra while ago... ann true it just hv 8800 ultra and it looks just a oc version of 8800gtx by few percentage...

for real there no official beachmark ati r600 vs 8800 ultra yet, and mayne ati will pospond the launch of hd2900xtx, and the directly intro hd2950xtx in Q3...

seeing most of the post here really makes me think a lot on getting 8600GTS...


Seems like it is not worth it at all... and a little top-up can already get me a 8800GTS.. but the thing is even if I get my self an 8800GTS... with my current proc (AMD Athlon 3000+) it will only bottleneck the system =(

hmmm kinda true also...
the price between 8600GT and GTS is about RM300... do you think it is worth the performance....

I am confused also... rclxub.gif
I am using a X24600 with 6800GS... i am thinking of 8600GT only...

inDX9 game, 8600GT is comparable to 7600GT or 7900GS?

inDX9 game, 8600GT is comparable to 7600GT or 7900GS?
*
8600GT can be compare to 7900GS @ 7900GT... 8600GT isok for budget one, but if u planning for 8600GTS beter u directly co for 8800GTS 320MB since the price not much diff and it perform much2 better then 8600GTS

I agree with you..
The performance gap for 8600GT and GTS are not much but the price differ about RM300..

as for the 8600GTS and 8800GTS. price differ about RM300 also but performance almost double.....

serious ar? the 8600GT can performe as good as 7900GS? What i look upon the 8Xseries is on the DX10 advantage and with 128-Bit Mem can run as fast as the 7900GS with 256-Bit... impressive...

geez... really gives me a lot of headache...

@jeromeccm

Seems like we have the same issue in our head right now... I'm also a user of AMD Athlon 64 3000+ and a 6800GS.


At first I am thinking of upgrading to 8600GTS because changing to Dual-Core will cost much more money... need a new mobo too.. and ofcourse... I need to change my RAM to DDR2 as well... that is really costly... but then seeing how the price between 8600GTS and 8800GTS doesn't differ that much (if taking into considertion the performance upgrade)... I'm already very reluctant to take 8600GTS. 8600GT.. I think is too low lar... sweat.gif

Need to think carefully on this...

I tink wait la... becuase the 8600GTS is just too expensive to take with respet to its performance.. Hopefully when ATI is out, the price will be more competition then they might start the price war. So by then 8600 ultra will be out... Kinda interested. I dont like the 8800GTS 320 becuase of the power hunger.

Really looking forward for the 8600Ultra.. might ask my frien to buy the xfx for me in US. will see how.....

heard that 8600gts with 256 bit will be out someday, its better to wait for this rather than to get 8600gts with 128 bit.

@Phoenixwunin
