"At long last and amidst plenty of speculation there are finally midrange DX10 graphics cards out on the market, even if DX10 has yet to arrive to the party. Yesterday NVIDIA announced the launch of thier 8600GTS, 8600GT, and the 8500GT cards. The 8400-series is reportedly OEM only and is not geared for retail sales. As the 8500GT won't offer much performance anyway, that just leaves us with the 8600GTS and 8600GT for our review today.

XFX has kindly provided Bjorn3D with two of their best XXX Edition cards featuring some very aggressive factory overclocks that I would be surprised to see the competition match! Infact after taking a look around, XFX appears to offering by far the highest factory overclocked cards out there, and even so their 8600GT is still the cheapest card on the block!"
