Posted May 10, 2014 BRAND NEW FLAGSHIP RELEASED BY NVIDIA! This time we have the brand new 8600GTS from nvidia.At first here are some technical specs about that beast of a card: Based on the new G84 chip with 80nm manufacturing process sizeThe Die has a size of giant 169mm² with 289million transistors under the hood.All these combined give a massive count of 32 Stream Processors - Pure power here again!Furthermore this model has 512mb of gddr3 vram but also comes in 320 or 640mb versions.The Memory is connected via a massive 128-bit bus resulting in a throughput of 32gb/sIt comes with a Core Clock of 675mhz, a Shader clock of 1450mhz and a Memory clock of 1000mhz.This results in muhassive 139GFlops of computing power. Ideal for your folding or Mining rig aswell.The card is cooled by a huge heatsink and an enormous 65mm fan.It is also quite power hungry and needs an additional 6pin pcie connector sucking around 60w total at full load!keep that in mind when purchasing, you need at least a 350w psu! Here are some pictures for your to enjoy.I cleaned of the thermal paste and replaced it with Arctics MX-2 for even better cooling.Glamour shot of the beautiful G84! Here you can see the gpu a little bit better Cleaning in progress The smoooooth surface of the cooler! Everything assembled again, with the heatsink and fan! Power Delivery even for overclocking! Rear I/O with DVI, VGA and even HDMIThe Card installed in the Computer ENOUGH theoretical stuff, lets talk benchmarks! I'm benching this beast in a similarly beastly system to avoid any bottlenecks from anywhere.Test rig is:E6600 @ 2.4ghzAsus P5B Premium MotherboardSamsung HM320Ji HDD at 5400rpmCorsair CX500M PSU8gb of Geil RamAnd win7 64bitThe Graphics card is of course the 8600GTS 512mb from Palit. And, because this card is just BEAST we run everything on max settings, 1080p. HEAVEN 4.0 // Everything Max 1080p just Tessellation disabledScore: 26. I dont think i've seen a score that high yet. Can your gt705 beat THAT? I think not.Avrg. FPS 1Max. FPS 1,3 VALLEY 1.0 // ExtremeHD, all max!Score : 43. This Benchmark really shows the strenght of that chip, incredible!Avrg. FPS 1Max. FPS 1,2 3d Mark Scores Cloud Gate P Score of 2599 - simply amazing! Ice Storm P Score of 31188 - First time ever a single gpu rig surpasses the 30k mark! Unfortunately Fire Strike failed because it uses the older DX11 Standard so our new DX10card wasnt able to run that.Vantage Basic P Score of 2290, Graphics Score of 2000 and CPU Score of 4055 CatzillaBecause i dont own the Benchmark i had to use the basic settings (576p)But i achieved an amazing score of 901 which boosted me up to #2155 of all Catzilla Benchmarks ever made - impressive! Game Benchmarks! Explaining the Benchmarkin process: I either used the ingame benchmark or made 3 runs, recorded fps with fraps and took the average of everything Starting off with the most amazing game of all time, Minecraft! Maximum Settings, 1080p Min. fps 0 Max. fps 62 Avg. 38 -> You can easily play with game even maxed out! Next up, Far Cry 3 in Max Settings, 1080p but w/o MSAA Min. fps 4 Max. fps 8 Avg. fps 6.5 Lowest Settings 1080p Min. fps 9 Max. fps 15 Avg. fps 11 Lowest Settings 1600x900 Min. fps 13 Max. fps 19 Avg. fps 15 Lowest Settings 800x600 Min. fps 28 Max. fps 51 Avg. fps 38 -> Here again, playig like a charm! Next game is Bioshock Infinite, using built in benchmark tool Max Settings, 1080p Min. fps 3.6 Max. fps 13 Avg. fps 8.7 Very Low, 1080p Min. fps 10 Max. fps 100 Avg. fps 19.4 Very Low, 720p Min. fps 14.6 Max. fps 307 Avg. fps 35 -> Bioshock Infinite is no Problem for that beast of a card at all! Next Game is Metro Last Light, using the built in Benchmark again. Max Settings, 1080p, PhysX, SSAA only w/o Tesselation Min. fps 0.7 Max. fps 11.8 Avg. fps 1.7 Very Low, 1080p everything special disabled Min. fps 2.7 Max. fps 30.4 Avg. fps 9 Very Low, 720p everything special disabled Min. fps 5.7 Max. fps 37.8 Avg. fps 18 Very Low, 1024x768 everything special disabled Min. fps 4.9 Max. fps 38.8 Avg. fps 19.3 -> As you can see, not even Metro LL is a problem for the 8600gts Finally i have some Temps for you guys. The card idles at around 47°C which in itself isnt that great but considering it only goes upanother 10°C when under full load (55-60°C) you can really see the efficiency of that chip! ALSO the card runs almost completely silent due to its amazing fan!Well, my fan seems to be broken so i had to gheddo attache a 140mm fan to it. Amazingly thought through by the folks over nvidia and palit! Imho every manufacturer shouldadopt this technology!Here you can see the cooling solution i chose Conclusion. For only a little over 200$ you get the best bang for the buck currently available!If you have the money, this is the way to go.As seen in the benchmarks, you can max out everything you want and still enjoy steady and highframe rates.The only thing i would recommend for really extreme usecases is taking the 640mb version becausei saw the vram usage getting up pretty high! Pros:- BEAST performance- Cool'n'Quiet- Looks badass- SLI Capable (if you want really insane power!)- All the newest Video Outputs- DX10 Cons:- Consumes a lot of Power- PriceyI hope you enjoyed my review of the new nvidia flagship. If so, leave me a like, leave comments or do whatever you think is the right thing to do! Take my results with a grain of salt, i actually dont really recommend buying this card lol.I couldnt get the card to give me fps over 10 in Valley even when everything was turned down (still 1080p though)It was still really fun benching this card Would be cool if anyone else here has a similarly old card to do these benchmarks with so we can compare results Gaming HTPC: R5 5600X - Cryorig C7 - Asus ROG B350-i - EVGA RTX2060KO - 16gb G.Skill Ripjaws V 3333mhz - Corsair SF450 - 500gb 960 EVO - LianLi TU100B Desktop PC: R9 3900X - Peerless Assassin 120 SE - Asus Prime X570 Pro - Powercolor 7900XT - 32gb LPX 3200mhz - Corsair SF750 Platinum - 1TB WD SN850X - CoolerMaster NR200 White - Gigabyte M27Q-SA - Corsair K70 Rapidfire - Logitech MX518 Legendary - HyperXCloud Alpha wireless Boss-NAS [Build Log]: R5 2400G - Noctua NH-D14 - Asus Prime X370-Pro - 16gb G.Skill Aegis 3000mhz - Seasonic Focus Platinum 550W - Fractal Design R5 - 250gb 970 Evo (OS) - 2x500gb 860 Evo (Raid0) - 6x4TB WD Red (RaidZ2) Synology-NAS: DS920+ 2x4TB Ironwolf - 1x18TB Seagate Exos X20 Audio Gear: Hifiman HE-400i - Kennerton Magister - Beyerdynamic DT880 250Ohm - AKG K7XX - Fostex TH-X00 - O2 Amp/DAC Combo - Klipsch RP280F - Klipsch RP160M - Klipsch RP440C - Yamaha RX-V479 Reviews and Stuff: GTX 780 DCU2 // 8600GTS // Hifiman HE-400i // Kennerton Magister Folding all the Proteins! // Boincerino Useful Links: Do you need an AMP/DAC? // Recommended Audio Gear // PSU Tier List Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 10, 2014 Intel HD 2000 come at me bro LOL. Actually this would outperform HD 2000 easily. The 8600GTS is somewhat slower than my old MacBook Pro's Geforce GT 320M (i know they didn't want HD 2000 so they used the 320M instead on a last gen Core 2 Duo since they couldn't fit a discrete GPU into the thermal envelope). Good thing that I don't use that any more, but surprisingly good experience in Borderlands 2 actually (medium settings @720p) It is impressive how much these things have advanced over the last few years. The 8600GTS has 32 CUDA cores (if they could be called that). The equivalent product today, the GTX 760 has around 1500!

Posted May 10, 2014 Yeah Intel HD 2000 is really bad... Actually, I just checked. 139GFLOPS for the 8600GTS, not bad actually (this is as fast as my iPad Mini's PowerVR GPU). HD 2000 is probably slower than that... seriously though.

Dude are you kidding you shouldn't have tested it in 1080p you should have tested it in 4k or render a upsampled 4k video this thing is a beast when you can use it to it's full potential esipcially the 4K man the thing is a beast because of that 512mbs of GDDR3 you have plenty of room for and extra 7 or 8 4K monitors the thing can even also cool my room. $$金Trill金$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 12, 2014 seems like i need to check that The 8800GT was THE flagship card when Crysis came out in 2007 and the 8600GT was its less powerful brother, like what a 770 is to a 780ti - it did a decent job. Obviously at the time nobody could run it on higest settings but it should do normalish settings on a standard resolution Desktop - Corsair 300r i7 4770k H100i MSI 780ti 16GB Vengeance Pro 2400mhz Crucial MX100 512gb Samsung Evo 250gb 2 TB WD Green, AOC Q2770PQU 1440p 27" monitor Laptop Clevo W110er - 11.6" 768p, i5 3230m, 650m GT 2gb, OCZ vertex 4 256gb, 4gb ram, Server: Fractal Define Mini, MSI Z78-G43, Intel G3220, 8GB Corsair Vengeance, 4x 3tb WD Reds in Raid 10, Phone Oppo Reno 10x 256gb , Camera Sony A7iii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
