Today we have a GeForce 8600 GT review for you, but unlike the wave of generic and boring 8600 series graphics cards we have exposed you to over the past few months, this one is a little different. The new ASUS Extreme N8600GT OC Gear comes fitted with a nice little heatsink and fan combo, as well as an interesting overclocking module called OC Gear!

However given that the GeForce 8600 GT graphics cards have fallen significantly in value over the past few months, they are now a more viable option. With the average GeForce 7900 GS graphics card costing upwards of $165 US, the 8600 GT does hold some value at just $130 US. Games such as Company of Heroes also proved that through overclocking the 8600 GT can in fact match the performance of a 7900 GS, though keep in mind the 7900 GS is an exceptional overclocker as well.
