    Well, looks like I owe Perkam a cookie. He won the bet pretty soundly. In my defense, I made that claim when everyone still thought they'd have 64 SPs.

    Why does [H] OCP seem to get cards to run games at a much better level than anyone else? They make it sound like the 8600 series are fantastic performers, while Anandtech, tweak, and others all seem disappointed at best?

    They should have been named 7600GTS and 7600GT OC...

    The GT loses to an x1650xt in some games. It's a good thing I went the notebook route this upgrade season.

    Cybercat will not be getting the following title: "I Make Bets I Can't Win"...seeing as the GTS is still a solid contender as its overclocking potential in SLI is quite impressive.

    I will wait for 8900GS and HD2900XL.

    Well if performance in DX10 is up. Then my 8800gts on the way will defiantly be smoking .

    In my opinion, ATi has, and will continue to have a better mid-range lineup.


    RV610/630 will have-

    Integrated HDCP on silicon, woot
    Integrated sound for HDMI
    65nm for less power hungry, cooler running cards


    The rest has yet to be seen... but so far so good.
    CPU: Intel CORE 2 Duo E6550 @ 3.6GHz w/ 1.29vcore (517*7)
    Motherboard:

    Memory:
    Crucial 8500's
    Video:
    Nvidia 8800GTX
    PSU:
    Zippy 700W (fan modded of course)

    Still 128bit memory though.
    HDCP on chip gives 0 performance increase & there are HDCP 8600's.

    Only good point on HD 2600 is the 65nm, otherwise it's pretty much as disappointing as the 8600 seems to be.

    What a waste of space/time.

    Is NVidia going to release a card with 64 Stream processors? Funny how a $200 card only has 32 SP's while a $300 card has 96...somebody screwed up.

    These should be released as 8200's and 8300's. Not 8500 and 8600...Will NVidia come out with an 8700 series with 64 SP's?

    1. $200 cards are their biggest market segment.
    2. These cards give the least for the money.
    3. Profit.

    you mean 200vs $250

    or did the 8800s go up once everyone saw how much the 8600s sucked and all those who had been holding off we're effectively like " this "
