NVIDIA's GeForce 8600 series brings DX10 without breaking the bank

 

If you want to join the ranks of the cool kids with one of those nifty DirectX 10 cards for promoting Vista shenanigans, but don't want to sell any vital internal organs to purchase a GeForce 8800 GTX or one of those upcoming ATI R600 cards, then you might be happy to hear that the price of entry is about to get a whole lot cheaper.

Details of NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce 8600 series have been revealed, with the 8600 GT going for roughly $150 and the 8600 Ultra demanding a $180 pricetag. Considering the fact that an 8800 GTX will cost you about $600 at the moment, this is good news indeed.

The specs aren't anything to sneeze at, either, with both 8600 cards being built with an 80nm process and 300 million transistors. The GT runs at 350MHz, with 256MB of RAM to call its own, while the Ultra sports a 500MHz core, with 512MB of memory. The launch is supposedly timed to coincide with the R600's launch, will certainly steal a bit of ATI's thunder.

Å snute, kan ikke si annet enn at jeg får vann i munnen. 8800-serien er nok litt for dyr for en stakkar som meg, men 8600 ser ut til å levere heftig. Skal nok klare å skrape sammen til Ultra-utgaven, men håper samtidig på en passiv kjølt utgave(selv om det virker som et skudd i mørket, iom temperaturene på 8800-serien, spesielt GTS-kortet).

Dette tyder bra! Blir nok et 8600 ultra på meg hvis prisen ikke blir for høy!

Kortene skal etter planen lanseres rundt CeBIT tider, men full tilgjenglighet fra dag 1!
