S. since the rebate was advertised at the time of purchase; if the invoice was going to disqualify me from getting the rebate, don't advertise it in the first place. Shame on you, EVGA. Other Thoughts: I'll know better next time. from Newegg.com Pros: inexpensive. works well for most games Cons: only 256mb. alot of games are requiring 512mb now. from Newegg.com Haven't tried it on other games yet but it now almost maxes out UT3 and I can't believe how much detail that I was missing. WOW! Be sure to download EVGA's precision program so you can max out fan speed and keep the chip nice and chilly during intense gameplay. Cons: none, its the best 8600 on the market Other Thoughts: intel DP45SG MB, 4Gb gskilz, vista ultimate 32bit, 8600gts, Q9300 from Newegg.com Pros: Pretty cheap, can play Bioshock and Dead Space maxed out at 1440x900. Cons: Can get hot if the airflow in your case isn't very good. from Newegg.com Pros: Purchased this for my cousin, installed it in his Dell Dimension E521 with 2GB of RAM- Small, Fits well in MicroATX, ATX- Fast, 256 MB of GDDR3- Installation, Drivers worked right awayDefinitely going to pick myself up one but the eVGA 8600 GTS Superclocked one on Newegg when I begin my build soon. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Great for Casual Gaming from Newegg.com Pros: 60% 3DMark06 score improvement adding this as my second 8600GT in SLI mode. Very noticable gains for cheap! from Newegg.com Pros: -Gets a 5.5 on Vista's Experience index under gaming graphics-Doesn't need external power-Works great as a mid range gaming card, capable of playing modern games but not breaking your entire bank account. Cons: -Not a 280, but didn't expect that so its not a con Other Thoughts: EVGA always has amazing products and this is no exception. from Newegg.com I bought this card to replace my old Chaintech 6600GT that I had for a few years. EGVA makes awesome cards! I'm using a Dell Dimension 8400 with XP and was concerned about the power supply not being able to support the new EVGA GeForce 8600 GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 card, but it works great!!! Installation was easy and fast. from Newegg.com overclocked it does ok but but the stock cooler only handles so much. Cons: non for the price and card you get.iv recently moved on to a new 8800gts 512 with the newer smaller chip. runs better than the two 8600gts i had in SLI. by a lot. from Newegg.com Other Thoughts: Compatibility needs to be checked carefully.... it was not clear that the power rating was likely to be an isse. EVGA were not aware of the issue either. from Newegg.com
