Even though this model is sound like extended version of Nvidia 8600GT from the last post (just puting s only), this model is way more better and powerful than the 8600GT model and may surpass some model of 9 series.

Just imagine if the 8600GT can't support that games full performance, it can play to full performance. This model is suitable for user to play the current game at fullest performance and expect to able to use until end of this year.However, it is expected this model to support latest game and upcoming game at least at half of the performance.

Just like 8600GT, it can provide same features but only different the graphic performance. Hardly crash and give complication, capable to overclock and support any OS and HD video.

Hopefully from the usage of this graphic card model, it able to meet the user specification and standard for playing games and running application.

This card is one of most stable Nvidia products where the crash and complication are extremely rare. Beside that this graphic cards support any High Definition videos. Addition of that, this graphic card support window vista and Window 7 too. This Graphic cards can be over clock to push the performance over the limit but must put a user must beware of overheating.
