Club 3D has launched a new GPU designed for the HD video enthusiasts, implemented for optimal HD video support with Blu-ray and HD-DVD. This newest video card from the Club 3D company is based on the remarkable overclocking 8600 video processor. Helped by a good amount of video RAM this card should perform at least satisfactory even in the latest games.
The Club 3D 8600GT Passive features 512MB of GDDR2 video RAM running at a frequency of 1000MHz and a video processor speed of 540MHz. The bus interface is the new PCI Express x16 and the memory interface is 128 bits wide. While a little slower in terms of pure amount of Mhz, this Club 3D has the advantage of being silent, unlike most "big game" video cards out there. Because it is equipped with a massive radiator and two heat pipes, the card will be able to support some overclocking too, without the risk of damage due to overheating.

This 8600Gt comes packed with all the goodies needed for latest generation gaming, including HDR that improves the natural look and feel of a game by adding more color complexity and increased contrast. For an optimal reliability, stability, increased lifespan and ergonomics, Club 3D implemented a high quality cooling system to keep the 8600GT Passive in top condition, even during the most demanding games and video applications. Support for Nvidia SLI technology is of course, included.

Full dual monitor mode is supported for analogue and digital displays. Thanks to the Hifg Definition Video Output module, users can achieve true 1920 by 1080 progressive display output to generate plasma or LCD television sets.

Besides just look at the HS, this is just waiting to get a 120mm high speed fan mounted on it. Should OC like a...

contradicting yourself mate.
 
I think this is going to be a worthless launch.... Seems to be targeted at people who go into the shop and ask, "How much Mb is this Graphics card?". Why else release such a thing?
 
The card is gonna be slower than a stock 256MB 8600GT cos the ram clocks are slower. But anyway its not aimed at gamers so should be alright.
