We have already published the small review of geForce 8600 GTS and we also tested this video card model in overclock. The Video card geForce 8600 GTS was overclocked to 745/2290 MHz using standard cooling and as the only enemy appeared the geForce 7900 GT at default frequencies 450/1320 MHz . As you can remember, precisely, the GeForce 7900 GT or GeForce 7950 GT are usually compared to the speed level Of geForce 8600 GTS. The central processor core 2 Duo e4300 (1.8 GHz) was overclocked to 2.4 GHz, the memory volume was equal to 2 X 1 Gb.













As u see from the above benchmark the 8600GTS is not better than the geforce 7900GT or (7950GT) since the first card was overclocked and the second is running @ stock speed. let us recall that for example the geforce 7900GT should overclock to 550-600 on core and to 1700-1800 on memory using stock cooling.
The GeForce 8600 GTS demonstrates a reserve for frequency increase in the order of 35%. Meanwhile, GeForce 7900 GT recommended itself from the best side, demonstrating up to 60% reserve. In addition the geForce 7900 GT have the wider 256- bit memory system bus , which in many case is limiting the performance of GeForce 8600 GTS. Related Products :
