Asus EN8600GT OC GEAR graphics card
This review is WAY TOO LATE. The newly released 8800GT obsoletes basically all the other nvidia cards by being fast, cheap, quiet and low power.
Who in their right mind would choose any 8600* over the 8800GT now?
It's worrying how you nowadays tend to review stuff only when it's totally obsoleted by newer better products, just like the motherboard review you had lately.

IMO it would have been a lot more interesting to review and compare several passively cooled 8600 GT cards.
The ones from Asus and Gigabyte drew some attention in the 'Cool and Quiet VGA' section of the forums.
Not for myself, I'm considering the new 8800 GT, after I find out which aftermarket cooler works best with it.

surely that's an inevitable consequence of the incredibly rapid march of PC technology and the fact that all of SPCRs contributors do reviews as unpaid 2nd jobs (I think)?lm wrote:This review is WAY TOO LATE.

I don't think anyone would object to more reviews on SPCR, but not many people are willing to either a) pay for them or b) accept the reduction in quality that would result
BTW MSI also do a nice heatpipe 8600GT that's currently no.1 in my virtual PC build.
