lol... consider that the 8600GTS clocks to 800mhz at stock clocks with decent aftermarket cooling :eek:.

Consider that it clocks to 1Ghz with a small easy vmod :eek:

driver bug damulta, what about R600 drivers??
If i buy a new VGA it probably will be H2900XT, but still i dont think its that good.
Compared what nVidia has to offer, the R600 series lets us fanATIcs down.
These cards differ to much in games. sometimes they are really good, sometimes really bad.
Althought i think 2600XT isn't that bad for what it should be. I feel like most people are dissapointed in these budget cards. The price is really great.
