5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome mid-range video card, November 28, 2007

By	A. Quintero (PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I switched from an ATI X1950GT and didn't really think that it would make such a difference to switch to the GeForce 8600, boy was I wrong!!! Now all my games(Half Life 2, Gears of War, Call of Duty2, Supreme Commander,Quake 4,FEAR...) run smooth and without lag. I am sure that the frame rates could be better and even smoother with the GeForce 8800 but who can afford that if you have real bills like me and when it is double the price of this card. This card is definitely the card to get to get the bang for your buck and then some!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars not bad but was expecting more, October 4, 2007

By	V. L. Rodriguez (Panama, Panama) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this card replacing my Nvidia 7300, of course the card a lot faster but was kind of expecting more. is a good card for the price but if you want to play the latest games with full dx10 you better get a 8800gts. One of the reason that I decided for the 8600 gts was that it supports DX10. But the truth is that DX demads more from your video card and for me, the 8600 gts is still short. so at the end you will end up playing with DX9c because of performance.
I hope this one gets resolved with better drivers

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Video Card, June 29, 2007

By	K. Hoyal - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Went from a Nvidia 6150LE onboard with lots of problems playing games. But now I can play games like Oblivion, World of Warcraft, and others at really high resolution. Not choppy at all.
