BF2S Forums 8600GTS Benchmark(In Chinese)

How come he was using ATi tool?
I why was the memory only 256MB? I thought for an 8xxx series, it would be at least 512MB.

That's a great score off such a crappy CPU.

ATiTool works on NVidia cards too. I haven't had much luck using it to overclock, but it works well for artifact scanning.

The 8600GTS will come with 256 or 512MB of 128bit DDR3. Release date is slated for April 17.

lol @ 128bit.

How horrible...

On a Core 2 Extreme X6800 processor, GeForce 8600 GTS scored a pretty impressive 5,7xx pts in 3DMark06 which is slightly faster than the 7950GT

Not a whole lot more benchmark performance out of such a high-end CPU.

I'm a bit sceptical of the VR-Zone results. The card used in the Chinese tests looks far more like a ready to release card and the benchmark scores seem inconsistent.

An extra 400 3DMarks is far less than you would expect, going from a 3000+ to an X6800, far less. I'm inclined to believe the Chinese site.

More news, this time with a volt-modded GTS:

http://vr-zone.com/?i=4875

With 1.5v VGPU and 2.4v Memory, I broke 7K 3D Mark 2006 and 15K 3D Mark 2005, hitting well above 900MHz Core and 1200MHz Memory! CPU is X6800 lightly overclocked at 3.2GHz.

Definitely not a practical, long term overclock, but dayum! 1GHz core? 0_o

you should be looking @ the video/shader model #'s for 3dmark, not the overall....note that the cpu score was equivalent to a P4...

Thats as good as my X1900XT.....

I wasnt impressed by the 3dmark scores. i get more than that w/ my 7900's

Now what a surprise that two high-end cards own a mid-range card although it's newer

I think noone can tell yet. Possibly, wit the hype around 8600 GTS there'll be something like a 8900 GS, topping the 8600 GTS and about the same price as the 7950 GT is now.
Also I'm kinda uncomfortable with the idea of not including BF2 in the benchmarks there, as the narrower memory interface has a really great impact on Doom3 & FEAR (and everything that's based on that engine, while HL2 doesn't show any significant differences. Yet, we don't know how well it works with BF2, but as the 7600 GT with its 128-bit interface also is quite neat, I assume the 8600 GTS will do well for the Battlefield series.
