The 8600GTS delivers 40% of the performance of the 320MB 8800GTS for 70% of the price.

The one on Bjorn3d is mislabled in your post, they covered the XFX 8600GTS and 8600GT, both "XXX" Editions. I thought the 2,260mhz DDR3 RAM was a bit interesting, has anyone else offered cards rated at those speeds yet?

Edit: Guess I'll add that XFX has changed their North American warranty policies... they now offer A double lifetime warranty that includes overclocking and aftermarket cooler use... finally!

They went nuts with their card's factory overclocks to boot...

I only used the xxx tag in the first post, stop bothering with the rest, 99% of the XFX are the OC XXX versions; they also clock them back to reference speed in the reviews, so good

I know other G80 midrange OC version have similar specs, but XFX has the highest out of the box I think.
