8600 GT/GTS Follow-up Performance @ Anandtech

Review: Anandtech
_______________
Last week saw the announcement of the 8600 GTS, 8600 GT, and 8500 GT graphics cards from NVIDIA. We haven't yet gotten our hands on an 8500 GT, but we've added a few more performance tests in the meantime. A deeper look at the G84's video processing capabilities will also follow, as we have a working driver, player, and HD-DVD drive.

It would seem you can summarize the summing up as:

Good for future proofing for DX10, but unconvincing performance compared to similarly priced DX9 solutions.

I guess that another assunption that can be drawn is - by the time DX10 really matters, these probably won't be fast enough!
