Well let's see, this is my 3rd 8600gt/s so I'm pretty used to it by now, but seeing as the MSI NX series version of the 8600 is over-clocked a good amount I'd have to say this is the best one I've used so far. PNY Stock clocked 8600GTS 512mb scored lower on paper than this OC'd 8600gt 256mb so that's rather interesting you'd figure the GTS regardless would be a better performer due to being a higher class but it's not so pointless to even pay more for a GTS. I've also had a BFG Tech 8600gt OC 256mb that was faster as well barely than the PNY 8600GTS 512mb, so again stay away from the GTS unless it's heavily OC'd otherwise the extra S just means suck cause the 8600gt pushes more pixels, and memory bandwidth.
I'm trying to squeeze that last bit of life out of my Foxconn NF4SK8AA 8EKRS Socket 939 based system. I dual boot Xubuntu 12.04-1 64 bit and Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. The addition of another MSI NX8600GTT2D256EOC in SLi and going from an Athlon 64 4000+ to an X2 4400 have increased my systems performance quite noticeably while multitasking. Needless to say this has greatly enhanced my gaming experience as well. I can max out all of my games video preferences now @ 1280x1024. I know.... A lot of you are thinking - "Bite the bullet and move into the 21st century with an AM3 or Core Ix system." I don't have the resources right now. But I can use these two video cards in my next build until I can upgrade even further.
Title says it all. I'm happy with what I purchased and it shipped quickly.
