Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Cheap and work great. I play Need for Speed 11 with a decent setting and the temperature of the card is very low so I guess there is room for overclocking, but I havn't tried it.

Cons: None really, but there is no VGA output on the board to drive my screen directly. I have to use the adapter.

Other Thoughts: everything is good......

Pros: Cheap for an 8600.

Cons: Wish it were more powerful, but I can't complain for the price.

Other Thoughts: You get what you pay for and I paid $40.00 with mail in rebate, so it's worth it.

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: This does the job on a budget. Price and overclocking ability.

Cons: The installation disk was either blank or not written to disk correctly, as I cannot access it. I downloaded the required software and drivers from the Zotac/Nvidia website and installed. The printed manual is sub-par.

Other Thoughts: I have had this overclocked at 600MHz Core and 750MHz (1500MHz effective) Memory without any issues. Using ATItool, this card can go more, but I have not tried as to date.

This card receives a 4 star because of the installation disk and printed manual issue.
