Asus GeForce 8600 GT TOP Video Card Review

Quote:
With about 30 watts of available power, above-average power regulation hardware, and a big heatsink, it's clear that this card, even with its factory overclock, still has quite a bit of overclocking headroom.

Using RivaTuner, I added another 145MHz to the core speed, almost a 25% overclock. The memory didn't budge over its default 2016MHz clock but then, it doesn't have to; stock 8600 GT memory is clocked at 1600MHz. This kind of speed boost more than narrows the gap between it and more expensive cards.
