XFX 8600 GTS XXX Video Card Review
I4U News - Tech Reviews
Published on: 5/1/2007 9:42 AM
Along with the PNY Verto 8600 GTS graphics card that launched today I am also having a look at the XFX 8600 GTS XXX. The infamous XXX moniker from XFX means that the 8600 GTS is factory overclocked whereas the PNY Verto 8600 GTS ran at stock NVIDIA reference clocks. How much of a performance edge does the overclocking of the XFX 8600 GTS XXX provide? Read on to find out....read the full review

4 of 5 good card Wednesday, May 28, 2008
A Customer from Albertville, AL  

I would have given this card a 5* rating had the price been cheaper. This card is equally priced with the 8800gts 320mb but doesn't give the same performance. I bought this card instead of the 8800 because I did not wish to upgrade my power supply at this time. I have ran FEAR, Half-Life 2, and Empire at War so far with no problems or lag. SO if you have a power supply with less than 400watts and wish to upgrade I would highly recomend this card.

Cesar M. de Leon from Harlingen, Texas  
Excellent gaming card. The only reason I don't have 2 is because my asus mb is micro and holds only one pci express video card. benchmarks are superior to what I had before. I'm very satisfied with this video card.
