Nvidia 8600 series Pictured!!!!
Forum Graphic & Displays : Graphics Cards - Nvidia 8600 series Pictured!!!!
8600 GTS
i dont said the 88s cooler are bad , of course they are very good
but the shape i just dont like it , hoping a manufacturer change the cooler by the time i buy 
So is this thing's gonna beat the hell out of the 8800GTS that I just got and haven't even installed yet? Tell me the truth!!!!

You are not going to buy a GPU because the cooler isnt pretty enough for you?

GDDR4 is known to have little or no speed advantage over GDDR3 however it is well known the the Memory Bus width is a very important factor for performance. IMO 128bit is a waste of time however this generation of cards has pretty highly clocked memory so I spose that makes up for it. Benchmarks are what matters bet specs matter to as you can get an understanding of how good the benchies will be from them .

You beat me to it, I was gonna post the info about the 8600 too 
Anyway heres what I found:
GeForce 8600GT
The GPU used is labelled G84-300. The GPU clock runs at 540MHz and GDDR3 at 1400MHz. G84 does not support HDCP. There is another version G84-305 comes with HDCP support.
The 8600GT is supposed to take over the mainstream market of the 7600GT and 7600GS from May 2007. There will be 128M and 256MB versions of the 8600GT cards. Both cards will support GDDR3 128bits Dual DVI, HDTV and HDCP.
The card looks like the normal 7600GT. THere is no 6 pin aux power connector. There is two DVI-I and a SLI connector Slot on top.
The 8600GT and 8500GT will be announced on the same day but will be on sale from 1st may 2007.

LOL!
Dude way to contradict yourself in the same post.
"Who cares about bitwidth; the XTX has GDDR4 (256bit), and the GDDR3 (384bit) 8800GTX smokes it. "
Nice! 
Perhaps your argument would be more compelling if the GTX were the same bitwidth, and equally fast or slower overall bandwidth GDDR3. Now had you picked the GTS, at least the overall bandwidth would be the same.
Not to mention the core differences.

sorry wasnt my intention
anyway of course im gonna buy this card to replace my 7600gs , even if i dont like the cooler , i can change it for an aftermarket cooler but if the stock cooler its good enough to keep the card cool with a mild oc im happy with it and greatApe u are right those are dual dvi my bad

Personally, I doubt either of these 8600's will keep up with the X1950XTX. That's alot to ask for a 128-bit card.
arent the 86 ultras suppose to be 256-bit?
hell i cant remember
ever since i got the 8800 i havent paid anymore attention.

They were rumored to be back at the initial Hong Kong article in January or was it December, but all of the more recent articles have claimed the mid/entry level 8xxx series are 128-bit.
i think Nvidia dont liked the idea of 8600 ultra , its likely to be to damn close to the 8800 gts 320mb
here have a bonus : the nvidia 8500 gt , it outperforms last generation 7600gs, its 128-bit and 256mb ddr2

Not a chance, except for if they use this stuff from Samsung;

Twice the speed at half the bandwidth.

LOL, yeah that would be a smart move.
Man though, 4GHz and 512-bit ..... droolz.
i WOULD be enjoying my 8800 right now but i think my hdd is
doin the (dying cockroach). :x
i blame g.w.
edit; if he shows up!
im outta here
