Affordable DX10 - GeForce 8600 GTS and 8600 GT

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."

Since there is currently no game you can check off that last box for, and the wattages are complete shit, we can all just completely IGNORE ATI and nVidia until they get a F'ing clue about making cards for anything but 40 year old virgins still living in their parents basements.
