Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS didn’t become an equal rival to ATI Radeon X1950 Pro, but we all knew that overclocked modifications of this graphics adapter are destined to come one day. Today we are going to introduce to you one of these cards and will find out how much faster it is than the original solution. We will also touch upon the overclocking potential of Nvidia G84 based graphics accelerators in general.

I have this exact card and It's great so far, it runs DX9 games fairly well, but Im afraid an upgrade will be neccasary to run future DX10 games with a 1280x1024 or higher res with eye candy on, it struggles with these specs in DX9 as well unless you run 1280x1024 or lower res.
