Surprised at the performance?

Yea surprised that it kinda sucks... a bit upset poor AMD lol

 

[Mr. Smith]

They suck hard.

Shame really.

Edit: I'd just like to add this came as no supise considering this whole 2900 fiasco. This generation of gfx card ahs been a failure for AMD.

 

[FarFarAway]

I agree

And it makes me a sad panda

yes but the 8600 doesn't come in AGP!

No one is mentioning the fact that the 2600 is available in AGP and the 8600 is not. I dont use AGP but if you go to Valves system information page you will see that close to 40% of all the people using Valve still use a video card plugged into an AGP slot.

The fact that the 2600 comes in AGP is a HUGE advantage that Nvidia is simply overlooking.

Honestly? I'd prefer an older DX9 card over the 2600 series
