If you have been waiting for NVIDIA to release a cheap, mid-range DirectX 10 graphics card, you need wait no longer. The new NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS offers not only the same unified shader technology and DirectX 10 support, it also comes with a spanking new video processor that can completely take over H.264 decoding.

Today, we revisit our review of the Sparkle GeForce 8600 GTS. We retested with the latest Windows Vista driver and along with some new DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 games.

This will give us a better gauge of its performance with larger monitors that are becoming particularly common as well as an examination of the GeForce 8600 GTS' DirectX 10 capabilities.
