Anyone with 8600gt?

Just wondering if anyone else has an 8600gt at all? I have the xfx 8600gt xxx zalman edition! I was wondering if anyone has overclocked it all! I overclocked a little with rivatuner and I also underclocked for when I am away from my pc at night. I only OC'd mine to 700mhz which is only 20mhz over stock.

I have been told that the GDDR3 versions of the 8600GT can almost reach a 8600GTS's speeds... Might trying OCing a bit more

Yeah i believe they do!! I was reading some reviews of both of them and they overclocked the gt and it almost got the same scores as the gts! Plus the gt is only $110 before rebates. Plus the one they reviewed was not the zalman edition which my zalman is clocked faster than the regular gt. Here's mine!

With all stock clocks I got 5,199 for 3DMark06 and that test was done a while ago! I'll run another later on the OC settings.

Remember, speed isn't everything

20ghz over stock will probably give you 2 - 5 fps higher in most games with the 8600gt
