Today we are going to compare some of NVIDIA's latest in their mid-range offerings: the 8600 GT/GTS family of video cards.
At the heart of the 8600 GT/GTS class card is the recently released G84 core. The G84 is a slimmed down version of the blazing-fast flagship G80 GPU core, which is (as of mid-June) still the biggest commercial GPU on the market, with a transistor count of over 680 million. The G84 came out in April, primarily to address an upcoming need for Vista-ready, performance-class cards able to handle soon to be released DirectX 10 games. While the G80/8800 series GPU's are aimed more towards the hardcore gamer crowd who will only settle for peak performance, the G84 family aims to strike a balance between performance and an affordable price ($125-$225).
