Summary: Good, Solid Upgrade
Comment: I started my first new computer build in about six years, and wanted to keep things within my set budget of about $1k. I'd purchased a GeForce 6600 about two years ago, but it just wasn't keeping pace with World of Warcraft (WoW). Even with all the graphics settings turned down, I was getting an average of 27 fps, and "populated" areas such as Ironforge and Stormwind were starting to choke my machine; games such as Pirates of the Burning Seas or HalfLife 2 were virtually unplayable. So, for the new build, I needed a vid card that provided decent performance for a reasonable price. I settled on this card.
The install was easy. Between the slim lines of the card, and the huge case I chose, there was plenty of room. And, because it's a single-slot card, I still have access to the next PCI expansion slot, and don't have to worry about having room when I decide to go to SLI. On boot-up, the card worked fine with the BIOS, and my Windows install had no issues with it.
Performance-wise, it's not the greatest card on the planet -- but that's comparing it to the bigger brother: a GeForce 8800GTS. What you get for the money, however, is a stable budget card with great performance for the buck. I'm running WoW with all the graphics settings maxxed out, and getting around 60 fps. The level of detail is amazing; it's almost like playing a different game.
The 8600GTS has also been a fairly consistent performer with my video and graphics programs. I can't speak to any issues with HD performance, however; it's not likely something I'll be attempting with this build. I *will* be curious to find out how it performs in SLI.
Build Stats: XFX nVidia GeForce 780i motherboard; Conroe E6850 dual-core processor (3.0 gHz); 4GB OCZ SLI-ready PC6400 memory; Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB hard drive; OCZ GameXStream 700W power supply; ThermalTake VA8003BWS Armor case.

Summary: a good video card
Comment:
I bought this for my new computer and it runs great!! It can play some games with no lags and runs quietly. I'm not a serious gamer so I just bought this for some graphics and videos. I would recommend it for people who is not a serious gamer but just want to play some decent game.

Comment: I added this graphics card to make the picture quality better and to improve the speed. It did that and more. Very good product i think.

Summary: Read The Fine Print!!
Comment: I can't in all honesty tell you how this component performs, because I failed in something basic-I didn't read the fine print. This card uses more power than the rest of my system combined, and my power supply was just not up to the job. Now I am waiting for a new power supply (which is running the total price up another $84!)and I have to ask myself why didn't I just buy something cheaper?
At any rate, before I spend this much on a component again I will investigate for 'hidden charges'!
