Graphic Cards Geforce 8600 to score 4500 in 3Dmark 06

[thexfactor]

NVIDIA'S Geforce 8600 cards, based on the G84 die, should score about 4500 points in famous 3Dmark06. This mainstream card will go into production in March or April time and it will still use the 128-bit memory interface.

The card is of course DirectX 10 compatible and with it Nvidia will beat ATI to market in this sub-$200 market segment. This card will compete ATI's Radeon X2600 cards also known as RV630s.

Our little source also told us that this Nvidia card has 160 square mm die and compared to ATI's 65 nanometre competitor it will end up bigger. We don’t know about the yields but the numbers will settle prior to the launch.

Thats pretty bad . It can't score as much as a 200$ X1900 :|.

^Hell its atleast more than what my card is giving me on my rig (3800 odd points)

Thank God! I did'nt got any Graphics Card right now. Ofcourse I will be targeting 8600 Ultra which should be under 10k (US $179)

@Floccy, your score is low due to a low end CPU on a performance mainstream card.
dey must b talking abt atleast a C2D/X2 which wud give 5-6k or more even with a X1900

 

[deathvirus_me]

Well .. that's be around 14k's for the the 8600U i guess ..

 

[coool]

lol no, even a 8800GTX won't get that much.
