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.

5 of 5 Get 2 Friday, April 25, 2008
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.

5 of 5 Simply amazing Friday, March 14, 2008
Keith from Tecumseh, MI  
I received this card yesterday and put it in my PC right away. It's been amazing so far-it's handled everything I've thrown at it. But then again, I'm a mid-range gamer, so that's probably why. It comes with Company Of Heroes and I haven't been able to pull myself away from it for too long. Everything plays extremely smoothly-even the HD video in the beginning. Simply amazing.

5 of 5 Exactly as advertised Friday, December 21, 2007
Keith from Houston, TX  
This video card delivers a great bang-for-the-buck. Games are fast and beautiful and work flawlessly. I've had it for a few months and haven't had even the smallest problem in Windows or any game. I was worried that my slightly older system's power supply would choke, but there was no problem at all. I bought it to replace a very prematurely dead Evga card. So far, the XFX card is performing exactly as advertised.

5 of 5 Good Price for Mid Performance Thursday, November 29, 2007
A Customer from Brookings, SD  
This card runs DirectX 9 games very well at max settings of 1280x1024 at about 80 fps. For DirectX 10 games, 512MB of memory is needed to run games efficiently at high settings. The 32 stream processors are small when compared to the 112 stream processors of an 8800GT and has limited performance in games like Crysis. If running two cards in SLI mode, the perforcmance is increased by allowing you to run max settings at higher frame rates (for directX 9, my performance increased from 80 fps to 100 fps). Lastly, this card supports HDTV. If your system can't support a 8800, I recommend buying this card.

5 of 5 Great Graphic Card Tuesday, September 25, 2007
Gary from Atlanta, GA  
For around 200 bucks, you get over clocking, DX10 and the newest card on the block. If you are looking for a mid range card, this is it. Since my computer could not support the 8800. This is a wonderful alternative.

5 of 5 Awesome Video Card!! Sunday, July 08, 2007
Steve from Garden Grove, CA  
Bought this instead of the 8800 because of the price difference. Although this video card was a bit pricey when I bought it (noticed the price dropped $50) it was totally worth it! My windows experience is at 5.2, my graphics and gaming is at 5.9. I average between 90 to 160 fps on cs source and the extra game that comes with this video card is also another plus. I get to use all the extra graphics on my Vista ultimate too. No regrets getting this video card!

5 of 5 Awesome Video Card!!! Monday, June 25, 2007
A Customer from Garden Grove, CA  
Just received this video card, pretty pricey I think but all in all WORTH it!! After I bought it, I got a bit skeptical, especially with the new 8800 gts out, but after I installed it I have no regrets! I have a fps between 90-160 on cs source, and R6 Vegas is just unbelievable! Not to mention it comes with Ghost Recon. Seems to work pretty fine with Vista too. Had a little trouble installing 'til I downloaded the most recent driver. Will update if I encounter any problems.
