Nvidia 8600 GTS 512 Rocks [Posted on 2008-02-18]
I am a picky gamer. Just came off of a 7600GS 512 which served me well, but could not play Crysis, for me this was aproblem. I had stayed away from cards for so long because the market seems to be catoring to Vista and could not afford the new cards. Let me tell you, for the past 2 years now having this new card it was worth the wait. This card is fast and installs with ease. The installation was easy you just have to be patient with the uninstall of the old card to the new. I even installed 3D Mark PRo to test to see if it adds up to the hype. BElieve me MAJOR difference, especially for teh cost. If you have an SLI motherboard save up for 2 of these babies. You'll be the envy of your circle.

Now you're playing with power! [Posted on 2008-02-25]
I haven't had any problems with this beast of a card. This is much better than my old.... I think it was 6400 256mb. So yeah, big difference. My computer isn't the fastest out there. P4 3.4 ghz, 2 gb RAM, win XP. I put this card in there and WOW! I'm currently playing Call of Duty 4 on max settings. I think resolution of 1024x768, if not 800x600. Getting about 90 fps on it. For the price, it's awesome. You don't need the best out there. I've researched quite a bit myself before making my decision and found the best card for your money, get this. This was also the highest 8000 series I could get on my power supply, so do some research.

EVGA e-GeForce 8600 GTS video card review [Posted on 2008-03-08]
I bought this card so that I could play games like "Oblivion".

It runs "Oblivion" well, with no complaints. It allows the graphical settings of the game to be set very high, and makes the game look great!

Very good card [Posted on 2008-04-01]
Very good card. Better than 8600GT but it seems 8600 series GPU can't really take advantage of 512MB DDR3. You can buy 256MB DDR3 version with near no performance loss at all. Better video processing than 8600GT and faster clocks. Remember to properly feed the card. Connect ALL female molex connectors provided by the card adapter (could be one or two) to your power supply!
