GeForce 8600 Ultra, 8600 GT, 8300 GT - pictures and specifications

[Chanser]

8600 Ultra looks neat, may get that and wait for E6350 Core 2 Duo.

[guruparan]

Me too...will get atleast 8300 series...since it is Directx 10 compatible!...I am buying Vista ultimate & halo 2 for pc when it hits the market...So, my summer days are going to be COOL for me! :whistle:

[sundayx Veteran]

excellent line up, but im still hating hte GTX/GTS names, bring it back to Ultra and GT like the 8600s

[WelshBluebird]

Looks nice, but newer cards will be out by the time I migrate to a PCI-e base lol (probably end of the year).

[ultimate99]

hmm...now that's something to consider. I was very close on deciding whether to get the 7600gt or the x1650xt within the next two months or so. i really didn't care about dx10 cards beacause i'm not always playing the latest games, but i'll probably wait for the dx10 cards.

how much power do they consume anyway? more than the 7900?

[torrentthief]

hope they bring out 8800's with hdmi connections!

[strekship]

Wow, so the 8300 looks like it is better than the 7600 I have now. That is a lot of shaders and high clocks for that price.

I'd rather wait for 2nd generation DirectX 10 cards. Everyone remember DirectX 9.0 and the Geforce FX 5000 series?

[neoadorable]

it remains to be seen. give it till the summer, by then the product ranges will be a bit more stable.

I had the 5600 Ultra and it was a crap card.

[Viper_Maniac]

Wow nice cards. I wish I could have waited. I bought a 7600GT about 2 weeks ago. Oh well.

[Techno_Funky]

You know, the first DX9 card was the Radeon 9700.

[Blaine]

Anyone know what the card in the picture is?

[Sockie]

So when are the PCI Express V2 Graphics cards out? :D That's what I'm interested in. Lucky I decided to wait - till Christmas 2007! :D

Update: GeForce 8600 Has 128-bit Memory Interface?

The recent rumors regarding the GeForce 8600 (G84) of having a 256-bit memory interface is incorrect. We are able to confirm at this point of time that GeForce 8600 series will be 128-bit and has 256MB GDDR3 memories onboard. Onto the rumours, We heard there are 2 versions; 8600GT and 8600GS clocked at 650/1800MHz and 550/1400MHz respectively for core and memories. Both come with 64 shader processors.

Yup. And it rocked. For almost 2 years it was the best card on the market. <3

[maeby]

[NoneAvail]

Released or just in the wild? It's likely someone broke and NDA if more sites haven't reported this yet!

[Echilon]

Wow, looks like a beast.

This information is correct only there is no GT but a 8600 GTS at 645/1800MHz. Apparently this card can clock to 1GHz on air with volt mods.
