8600GT - is it a dud?

[Mr. Smith]

Have a look at this, and 8600GT up against a 7600GT, you'd think the 8600 would win hands down in everything, right?

Also, more about the up coming 8600GTS - SLi doesn't work! Yet!

Oh, dear!

I thought the 8600 would pwn..

Whats with the first link?

It's called Chinese mate Although it looks as though they'll get the SLI issue sorted with the drivers at a later date. Man they must be eager to get them out...partly broken

Hmmm, was considering one of these over a 8800GTS. I think not now...

Best to wait for stable drivers...and until they're actually released

Bugs are always very common

yeah as kemp said , the 8800 drivers are not ready yet what do you expect on something just released?

 

[Rastalovich]

Released and realized to an extent, it`s a bit unfair atm.

I guessed this a few months ago (but never said it here). I had a feeling this round, ATi might actually win and pwn the midrange segment for the first time and history. I guess it's true.

The 8600 series is a joke at best. 128 bit mem and DX10? LOL. Have fun with that.
