NVIDIA'S Geforce 8600 cards, based on the G84 die, should score about 4500 points in famous 3Dmark06. This mainstream card will go into production in March or April time and it will still use the 128-bit memory interface.
The card is of course DirectX 10 compatible and with it Nvidia will beat ATI to market in this sub-$200 market segment. This card will compete ATI's Radeon X2600 cards also known as RV630s.

Our little source also told us that this Nvidia card has 160 square mm die and compared to ATI's 65 nanometre competitor it will end up bigger. We don’t know about the yields but the numbers will settle prior to the launch.

G84 is all Vista DirectX 10 ready and we hope that Nvidia can make the WHQL Vista driver before that date.

We are sure Graphzilla can do it but we thought we should give it a pinch before it finally gets its finger out. µ

Sounds like it's around the same power as a 7900GS.

I am very disappointed that its a sissy 128bit 256 memory card. I saved up $165 thinking that its a 256bit and 512 memory. I guess im going to wait for ati line up or spend it on something more worth while.

I'm pretty sure this is for the 8600GT. The Ultra will most likely be 256-bit memory.

It says it scores 4500 in 06 - but with what CPU and RAM?

Erm, there is one gaping hole in this report.

It's by "The Enquirer". They are always wrong, they can't do simple maths, and they've only just realised that the R600 isn't 65nm.

Yeah, I'd like to see 8600 Ultra scores. That's what I'm waiting for.

Probably something like that, maybe 300 points more. But I think the problem is the drivers, they need to make them a lot better.

More bullshit from the Enquirer. I'll hold out for some real benchmarks.

But what could be more worth while than a new video card?
