As practice shows, the video card GeForce 8600 GTS from the company nVidia appealed to many well-known manufacturers of gaming devices. True, in the pursuit of profit, many well-known brands did not bother to finalize the chip and install decent cooling. The approach in the form of reducing the amount of memory to 256 megabytes is also confusing. Even for a budget class, this video card does not look very attractive. But, as always, the choice is up to the buyer.
