Hi people! Gather around as we have BFG in the house and we're gonna pimp your rig with the new GeForce 8600 GTS OC2.  Aah crap, white men just can't pull off the slang talk now can they ? Hey everybody and welcome to yet another GeForce 8600 GTS review.

As stated today we'll be peeking at some hardware lovin' from BFG Tech. Now ever since last year BFG has become a good review partner for Guru3D and we've tested quite a number of their products already. Globally there are merely a couple of players in the NVIDIA graphics arena who can pull off some big products, BFG is such a company. Many of these companies compete fiercely with each other, and this is why we see pre-overclocked products these days. Yes, it's a lot of e-peen stuff over basically 2 to 5% more performance. Armed with a great warranty and several flavors of a good number of products, they recently unleashed the BFG GeForce 8600 GTS OC2. Yes mate, you think correctly. There's a regular and OC version as well :)

We'll have a brief peek at the technology that is the GeForce 8600 GTS and then chat a little more on what the differences are among the several models.

Right then, NVIDIA's GeForce series 8. NVIDIA launched three DirectX 10 compatible GPU's in the consumer mainstream segment of the market; the GeForce 8600GTS, 8600GT and 8500GT graphics processors. NVIDIAs GeForce 8600GTS and 8600GT are G84-based GPUs and are targeted at the mid-range market. The lower-positioned G86-based GeForce 8500GT serves as the flagship low to mid-range graphics card. Today we'll be looking at a pre-overclocked OC2 version of the GeForce 8600 GTS. Equipped with 256MB MB memory, a faster running core which is chilled by a new cooler branded "Thermo Intelligence" <- my e-peen just got a little more rigid.

With that being said, let's startup this review where we explain the technical details and test the cards with a game or twelve. Those games include hot titles like DiRT from Colin McRae, S.t.a.l.k.e.r, GRAW, War Front, F.e.a.r. and many more.

Yes, you better prepare yourself for our typical extensive Guru3D review. Oh come on did you honestly expect anything else ?
