Club3D 8600GTS 256 MB Tested too! Compared to X1950Pro/7900GT
 

Who wants to find novelties, should drive not to the CeBIT, but creep by computer stores. There one finds new middle class with DirectX 10 support for example with something luck NVIDIAs: The GeForce 8600 GTS. We carried ourselves the model forward of Club3D times and will accomplish in the next hours the test. The special to it: NVIDIA yet at all did not present this diagram chip, proceeded at present from an introduction on the market on 17 April. That is not to disturb us, we become the test report in the next hours to write and it can quasi live thereby be!

Doesn't seem to be quite the X1950XTX killer as the other benchmarks lead to believe, card has trouble keeping on par with X1950Pro, and in some benches even falls behind (FEAR/DOOM)
