| Excellent mid-to-high end DX10 VGA solution-ELSA GLADIAC 860GT PH2 256B3 In April of 2007, NVIDIA launched 3 new products, GeForce 8600GTS/8600GT/8500GT, not only to segment a different target market from 8800GTX/8800Ultra but also take over the current market for GeForce 7900GS/7600GT/7300GT In these months, mostly we can find the reviews of 8600GTS, the top level of the series but it did not win much admire for higher street price but common performance… Let’s have a different main dish today, ELSA GLADIAC 860GT PH2, the overclock version. The standard frequency of NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT original design is 540/700MHz The frequency of ELSA GLADIAC 860GT PH2 is 600/800MHz Color Box A sticker reads “Three years warranty” Accessory Product front look Rear side of the product APACK Fan System With better cooling performance and lower noise Components All in SANYO solid capacitors and seal inductances Interface Dual-DVI / TV-Out Interface Samsung -1.2ns GDDR3 memory Test Equipment CPU:INTEL Core 2 Duo E6700 MB: DFI DARK INFINITY NF650I ULTRA DRAM:Mushkin Tuner XP Redline DDRII 1000 VGA:ELSA 860GT PH2 256B3 2DT RH HD:Seagate 7200.10 320GB POWER:Coolive AP-400F Cooler:Thermaltake V1 CPU : 450X7=>3150Mhz DARM : DDRII 1200 CL5 4-4-9 2T VGA criterion Standard 8600GT default : 540/700 ELSA 860GT PH2 OC default : 600/800 ELSA 860GT PH2 after OC : 625/1000 3DMARK2003 540/700 600/800 625/1000 3DMARK2005 540/700 600/800 625/1000 3DMARK2006 540/700 600/800 625/1000 |

| Age Of Empires Hardware setup : DFI :1280X1024 Others are set up to the highest level criterion 540/700 Main select page :P. 44 600/800 Main select page :P. 47 625/1000 Main select page :P. 49 Need For Speed Carbon Hardware setup : DPI : 1280X1024 Detail value : high Others are default value 540/700 Main select page :P. 37 600/800 Main select page :P. 41 625/1000 Main select page :P. 43 The main differences of 8600GT and 8600GTS are Core/Memory frequency, PCB and independent power supply. Because of these 2 models are in the same NVIDIA G84 technology, it is possible to enable 8600GT the same performance as 8600GTS if in high quality materials and critical fine-tune. The key point is that 8600GT is much cheaper than 8600GTS… At present time, 8600GTS is more expensive than 7900GS but the performance is close to 7900GS I think most people will not be convinced to have a 8600GTS… On the contrary, it is reasonable for a high quality 8600GT to take over 7600 GT’s market even enabled high performance, close to 8600GTS and 7900GS. I think 8600GT is enabled much more C/P value than 8600GTS and 8500GT. ELSA GLADIAC 860GT PH2 is equipped with high quality cooling system and GDDR3 Memory, the common component applied on 8600GTS, and enabled OC performance but the street price is only about USD$ 10 higher than other competitors. It enhanced ELSA GLADIAC 860GT PH2 more competitive in mid level VGA market |

| Calling 8600GT high end is being too optimistic
