NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS Performance Preview
@ 2007/04/09The performance gap between the GeForce 8600 GTS and the GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB, is huge. Since the 8600 GTS is the bridge between the mid-range 8600 series and the higher end 8800 series, we expected the margin to be smaller. As it is, the scores we got from our benchmarks show our overclocked GeForce 8600 GTS having trouble fending off older cards like the Radeon X1950 PRO. What then for the standard version? We can't help but wonder if the 128-bit memory bandwidth is holding back the GeForce 8600 GTS, especially at the higher resolutions that we tested.
