The Official G84/G86 Rumours & Speculation Thread

Id rather have dual slot cooling. For one thing they push hot air out of the case and does better in cooling.
So i dont mind, unless the dual slot if interfering something on the motherboard.
Looks like that MSI 8600GTS is going to be highly overclocked than stock by the looks of the cooler used.
Btw, whats that red button for? self destruct button? turbo mode?

It's a retina scanner.
The PC will only boot if you look into the red light and have a valid id (new Vista DRM mode, complementing HDCP and UAC).

Humm, could there possibly be a more CPU limited setup than that one ?? (Athlon 64 3000+, that's a 1.8GHz single core processor)
Yes, since CPU does infact have an influence on the final score i believe. Paired with a C2D E6600, we should be seeing a higher number then that one.
Looks like the 8600GTS might give the 7900GTX a run for its money.
For reference
7900GTX
6350~ 3dmark06 with core 2 X6800
X1950XTX
6700~ 3dmark06 with core 2 X6800
8600GTS
5488~ 3dmark06 with Althon64 1.8ghz?
The scores for 7900GTX and X1950XTX from hothardware. Anyone notice that the S.M 3.0 score of the 8600GTS is really low? driver problem? I think so.
Im beginning to believe this card will be as fast as a 7900GTX if not faster. Promising indeed.

(A64 4000+ is a A64 4000+ X2!)
Is it not strange, that 8600GTS' SM 2.0 score is higher than X1950XTX' score?
Or 8600GTS' 3.0 score is lower than X1950XTX' score?
But let's do a little bit maths:
3DMark06 Score = 2.5 * 1.0/ ((1.7/game score + 0.3/CPU score)/2)
Game score for HDR/SM3.0 hardware = 0.5 * (SM2.0 score + HDR/SM3.0 score)
My calculated 3D Score is then: 5212.
But wait? Where is the rest of 5488 (I miss 276 3Dmarks)?
Mystery...

These show more "reasonable" SM2.0 scores for the GTS.
16933 3dmark03
5392 3dmark06 (2288 SM2.0, 2039 SM3.0)
GT:
14089 3dmark03
4505 3dmark06

That 7000 figure looks like an estimate, the screenshots are more accurate.
AMD FX-62 versus an overclocked Core Duo 2 with 3,4 GHz?
Im talking about the differences in the S.M 3.0/2.0 scores. One site claims the GTS got 3000~ SM3 and 2000~ SM2, while the one trini linked was more along the lines of ~2200 SM3/SM2.

In the other test (linked in #86) sm2.0 3249 sm3.0 2070.
Coolaler might disagree with you, since he's pretty close already (tested with an Intel QX6700)....:
8600 GTS OC'ed to 800/2333MHz.
http://img11.picsplace.to/img10/24/oc800.JPG
8600 GTS stock (675/2000MHz).
http://img6.picsplace.to/img6/27/5938.JPG
This is clearly in 7900 GTX/X1950 XT territory now, let's wait for more developed drivers and further OC'ing.
8600GTS (OC) versus 8800GTS (stock), I dont think thats what trini was saying ..
Yeah, but it comes close, considering the price difference.
The significantly different technical and physical properties (128bit bus, 80nm, single-slot, power consumption, etc) compared to the 8800 GTS (320bit bus, 90nm, double-slot, higher power draw, higher price) would make it appear to be much less powerful than it really is.
