NVIDIA 8600GT and 8600GTS Pictured
OCWorkbench has found some pictures and specs of NVIDIA's mainstream DirectX 10 cards, the 8600GT and the 8600GTS. The GT (pictured below on the left) is the replacement for the 7600GT and will feature the G84-300 GPU running at 540MHz and either 128MB or 256MB of 128-bit GDDR3 RAM at 1400MHz, priced between $150 and $180. The 8600GTS (below on the right) is a step up from the GT and will replace the 7900GS, using the G84-400 GPU running at 675MHz and either 256MB or 512MB of 128-bit GDDR3 RAM at 2000MHz, with a price of between $200 and $250. As reported before on techPowerUp!, these cards should be released (along with the 8500GT) on April 17th.

with memory operating at 2ghz a 128-bit bus is plenty
the 128-bit cards of this generation routinely outperform or at leats match the 256-bit cards of the last generation
It might saved them a couple of dollars but they'll lose much more when people like myself decide to pass. :(
(they look like two sorta beefed up 7600s...)
Btw, the S on the end of the 8600GTS i think means surpreme... basically
8600 Gran Turismo Surpreme (or something else)
8600 Gran Turismo.
