Since the GeForce 8600GT have to with lower clocks, the performance it has is only enough at 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 960 without AA and AF. We recommend using 1024 x 768 with 8x AF, just to be on the safe side. Note that these GeForce 8600GT cards uses about the same core, shader and memory clocks. The Gigabyte NX8600GT Silent Pipe II may use slightly higher core and memory, but just like with the Leadtek PX8600GTS TDH Extreme, we really don't see a significant difference between it and the other GeForce 8600GT cards. In fact, minimum frame rates at 1280 x 960 without AA and AF is somewhat lower, though average frame rates is about the same. Putting these results in perspective, the GeForce 8600GT actually fares very well compared to its faster sibling, the GeForce 8600GTS. These cards are basically limited to 1280 x 960 without AA, so for budget limited gamers, the GeForce 8600GT is a better buy. As to which GeForce 8600GT we recommend, let's look at the other benchmarks first.
