Affordable DX10 - GeForce 8600 GTS and 8600 GT

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the only-a-bit-more-than-nine dept.

mikemuch writes "While ATI still hasn't released a DX-10-capable graphics card, Nvidia today already released its affordable SKUs, in descending price and performance order the GeForce 8600 GTS and GeForce 8600 GT, and 8500 GT. The GTS costs $200-230, the GT from $150-170, and the 8500 reaching down to the $90 range. The architecture for the new GPUs is the same as for the 8800 line, but with lower clocks and fewer stream processors."

      This is about Aero; now that there are some moderately priced DX10 cards out there Aero isn't just for rich gamers.

      You have the decency and good grace to admit that you were mistaken??
      Are you sure that you're on the right site?

    Thank you for explaining some letters and numbers I don't understand in terms of some other letters and numbers I don't understand.
