Review: Gainward BLISS GeForce 8600 GTS GS, 256MB GDDR3
Gainward decided to make an overclocked Geforce 8600 GTS version. We already told you everything that you should know about the Geforce 8600 GTS.
Lets repeat one more time. Nvidia recomends 675 MHz speed for the G84 chip and the 128 bit memory works at 2000 MHz. The Shader units at this chips works at 1.5 GHz shaderclock.
The G84 chip has 24 Texture memory units, eight ROPs and 48 unified Shaders. In theoretical numbers the card can score 216 GFLOPs, 15600Mtex/s, 5200 Megapixels/second. The overclocked cards such as Gainward can certainly do more.
Gainward decided to go for a bit more extreme side. It overclocked the card to 725 MHz a full 50 MHz faster then the recommended speed, while the memory works at an incredible 2200 MHz. Of course Gainward can not overcome the limitations of the 128 bit memory bus, but the card still works well in FSAA and Aniso settings due to its high memory clock. The card comes with 256 MB memory.
G84, Geforce 8600 series are the first sub $200 or
