Certainly there is always the High end Grafikkarten, which addresses most people, which at most in forums are discussed and which each loving gladly would put itself into the computer. At the latest if one looks on the price, which exceeds the 500-Euro-Grenze pretty often, most potenziellen customers come however into the Grübeln and refrain from a purchase. Instead one seizes then to a Mid rank map, which concerning the price mostly lies within the range of approximately 200 euro and connects modern technology with a sufficient performance. Also the new GeForce 8600 GTS as well as GeForce 8600 GT, the first Mid rank Grafikkarten for the Direct3D-10-Standard have this goal.
Without anti- Aliasing as well as the anisotropic filtering is very good the performance of the GeForce 8600 GTS by the bank and can with the GeForce 7900 GT compete. In modern shaderlastigen plays - preferably with activated High dynamic rank Rendering - the GeForce pulls 8600 GTS of the old upper class map proper of it, while there are however likewise applications, in which the GeForce 8600 GTS checking has. On average the GeForce 8600 GTS lies in 1280x1024 minimum two per cent before the GeForce 7900 GT, while one must let the Radeon X1950 pro of ATi with arrears of 13 per cent of it pull. The predecessor model, the GeForce 7600 GT, has the GeForce 8600 GTS playing in the grasp, likewise the Radeon X1650 XT.
POV GeForce 8600 GTS
In 1600x1200 the results change only small. The GeForce 8600 GTS will in the comparison due to the missing memory range minimum more slowly, can however still before the GeForce 7900 GT maintain ground. The Radeon X1950 pro pulls with 15 per cent projection/lead of it while the models „of the old “generation are proper dissociated. With the two quality improving features the GeForce keeps itself 8600 GTS amazingly good. The Radeon X1950 pro is still 13 per cent before the Direct3D-10-Karte, while one dissociates the old nVidia maps now problem-free, since these are not able, to represent HDRR with Multi Sampling anti- Aliasing at the same time. If one counts the HDRR plays from bench mark out, the GeForce 8600 GTS is appropriate for six per cent behind the GeForce 7900 GT - this is justified with the fact that the G8x-Architektur comes very well with that resources eating HDRR by right and can in this discipline well points.
One switches a dissolution more höhrer shows the GeForce 8600 GTS however first fatigue symptoms and must more clearly struck give oneself. This is however no real disadvantage, since the GeForce is so too slow 8600 GTS for these quality attitudes as well as and no playable arithmetic performance can furnish more. The new GeForce 8600 GT does not have it completely against it so easily to set arguments. The diagram map is in most applications faster than a GeForce 7600 GT, the difference is hoped for however not as highly as. For 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 that is in most cases sufficient, in some plays and particularly with anti- Aliasing as well as the anisotropic filtering goes to the small Direct3D-10-Beschleuniger however the Puste out here must then according to the price be low, in order to be able to supply a purchase reason.
XFX GeForce 8600 GT XXX
In Punkto cooling system made correct nVidia with the GeForce 8600 GTS everything and tinkered a singing reading plumb bob copy, which works by the bank pleasantly quietly. A Krachmacher, how the exhaust on the GeForce 7600 GT was still one, is not the counterpart; the suitability for a silent PC is given - very good, nVidia! Differently it looks however with the XFX GeForce 8600 GT XXX, whose ventilation organizes no Radau, but nevertheless unpleasantly is noticeable. Thus the diagram map is applicable probably only for the few buyers. In things current consumption gives to report it this time also not much negative. This is more highly than with the predecessor GeForce 7600 GT, in the comparison to the achievement and quality increase is however painable this. The dimensions of a GeForce 8800 are not approximately reached.
It can summarized be said that nVidia with the GeForce 8600 GTS a good new Mid rank Grafikkarte created, which can peel no trees off, which competition holds however for sovereign in chess and lets at no time something anbrennen. As long as one would not like to play in 1600x1200 with 4xAA and 16xAF, one can recommend the GeForce 8600 GTS heedlessly - for these or still higher resolutions the model is not to be used however no more. For 1280x1024 the achievement is almost always sufficient. A real result to express falls at present however heavily, since the direct competition from the house ATi will see the light of the world only soon. Achievement-technically and regarded by the other characteristics like the image quality and the volume up-to-date nothing speaks 8600 GTS in the 200-Euro-Segment ago against the purchase of the GeForce.
Different on the other hand it the GeForce 8600 GT. The map lies achievement-technically somewhat over the GeForce 7600 GT, for many current plays is not sufficient the achievement however, in order to drive qualitatively high-quality attitudes - but one must put in addition, „only “150 euro on the table. Nothing the defiance cannot express we a purchase recommendation for the GeForce 8600 GT, for the money gives it better maps like the GeForce 7900 gs or the Radeon X1950 pro (although one must live in this case with a worse image quality and without Direct3D-10-Unterstützung).
As was noticeable to most readers surely already, diagram maps of XFX, over-clocked as standard equipment, are represented in the article two. Unfortunately the time up to the official conception was not sufficient, in order to terminate all bench mark with the models. We will retrieve this however as fast as possible and will update the diagrams accordingly.
