The Guru3D.com GeForce 8600 GT & GTS shootout

Hey everyone and welcome to the spring release of NVIDIA's new mid-range graphics card line-up. What we are to bring you today is something quite extensive. We have an in-depth article planned with NVIDIA's new GeForce 8600 GT and GTS based graphics cards where participating board partners like Sparkle, eVGA BFG, XFX, Galaxy Technology and Point of View have all submitted a card. All these great manufacturers and new products in one big article. A shootout on the actual launch, how cool is that?
Unfortunately, it's now Monday the 14th as I write this and the boards from eVGA have yet to arrive thanks to, who else, UPS! Sparkle won't have their samples ready until next week, so they'll forfeit on this rather big article as well. We'll move forward with what's at hand and we'll even do a little SLI testing with the new cards as well. We'll test the XFX 8600 GT (XXX) and GTS (XXX) boards, the BFG 8600 GTS (OC) board, the Point of View 8600 GTS (EVO) board and from Galaxy Technology both a customized GeForce 8600 GT and GTS.
