Introduction

As all the different versions of the new mid-range Nvidia GeForce cards roll into our lab some stand out a little more than others.

Maybe it's the great looking box or the fact that they come with a nice little overclock, all these cards seem to have something that shines, fortunately for BFG Tech it has both the box and the overclock and so much more.

We had a look at the XFX come launch day and it had a lot going for it, with a huge out of the box overclock it was destined to be king of the 8600GTS cards, unfortunately when it came to overclocking we discovered pretty quickly that the card was at its limit. With BFG Tech in hand we have a chance to see if the cheaper cards on the market are capable of still giving us the modest overclock, taking us up to the level of XFX.

Well let us not delay the look at our BFG 8600GTS any longer and find out exactly what we have on offer.
