Geforce 8600 to score 4500 in 3Dmark 06
 

No mention of what version of the 8600, presumably the GT ?

"The card is of course DirectX 10 compatible and with it Nvidia will beat ATI to market in this sub-$200 market segment. This card will compete ATI's Radeon X2600 cards also known as RV630s.

4500? are we supposed to be impressed? my X1950Pro does 5300 at stock (with CPU pushed a lil') and it's also in the sub-200$? (of course, no dx10, but still)

they release a 128 bit memory cripple
