mADmAN, ko suka betul showoff ek?

Wei, my digicam is on the way lar.
Tired got so many people marah marah me i got no digicam.

mADmAN, try to run the 8600GT UE that you bought from me at the stock speed of a normal 8600GTS that is 700MHz.
Bench it, and show to them just how good is the 8600GT.

Wait, i can bench it myself.
Wait for teh result!

Huh, tersalah nama.

As you all can see, the 8600GT Ultra Edition is actually an 8600GTS.
I'm not sure why colorful rename it as 8600GT Ultra Edition, but it's really a real 8600GTS.

Nothing.
The only differences is the clock speed.

Normally 8600GTS is clocked at 700MHz.
While the Colorful 8600GT UE is clocked at 650MHz.

Clock the GT UE to 700MHz, and you got yourself a 100% true 8600GTS.

Where can find a 8600GTS at the price tag of below RM550?
No other brands offer that.

Only Colorful.

Nope.
It does not come with any program to overclock the card.

No graphic card comes with any program to overclock it.
The easiest way is to use Rivatuner.

50MHz?
LOL, dude, 50MHz doesn't affect much in heat lar.
Even if it does, it will only affect either 0.5°C - 1°C only.

With that little overclock, yes you can live your system running overnight without any sort of problems.

Dream on skin tube.
You won't get any card like that in that price tag at PCFair.

mADmAN bought it from bulk order in this forum.

GC what?
I didn't have any 8600GT @ 2600XT.
I only have 8800 Ultra & 2900XT.

What do you want me to test?
You can see by yourself that the Colorful 8600GT Ultra Edition even beat MSI 8600GTS.

What more you want?

Anyone here wanna see the true performance of the Colorful 8600GT Ultra Edition?

Check this topic tonight for some 3DMark screenshot of Colorful 8600GT UE surpassing 8600GTS.

Now, who said that Colorful GC's aren't good overclockers?

Look here: http://img143.imageshack.us/my.php?image=3dmark5oq4.jpg

Yes, the 8600GTS in this picture is running on 700MHz while the benchmark i've done is at 760MHz.
What i'm trying to point out is that, this Colorful 8600GT Ultra Edition could surpass any 8600GTS anytime if you know how to tweak with it.

And please remember, that guy benchmark his 8600GTS in windows XP.
While i benchmark in Windows Vista.

Just imagine what would the score be if i benchmark using windows XP.
The score could go way up higher than you see in the benchmark results i've posted.

Dude, since you're on windows XP, try to OC the card to the level that i oc'ed my card.

This way, we could see the true 3Dmarks Results.

Kalau nak gempak lagi, OC processor ko sampai sama ngan speed processor aku, pastu tunjuk berapa tinggi result benchmark dalam windows XP.

Jangan terkejut esok ada result benchmark dari aku guna windows XP.
Malas plak nak format hdd 80gb aku yang tgh tersadai tu.

Look at how bad does a 8600GTS go: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=11555551

I don't have those games.
But then, even if i do, how to compare with other cards such as 8600GTS?
As i don't have any 8600GTS'es in my room.

If i do, i would have start torrenting a COH and start the game benchmark by now.

I will benchmark my 8600GT Ultra Edition again tonight with a windows XP fresh install without any other programs.
We'll see how high the 860GT Ultra Edition benchmarks in windows XP.

I'm using the same 3dmark05 1.3.0, but i don't see any problems running it on my system.
Perhaps there's something wrong with your system.

Your vista is fully updated?
