Introduction

The latest series to enter the Biostar E Gate family of graphics cards is of course the 8600s from NVIDIA. Their cards have recently become more interesting thanks to the implementation of V-Ranger which is what Biostar name their smart voltage and dynamic clock software.

The 8600GTS is already a pretty competitive area so it will be interesting to see if Biostar can do anything that stands out from the pack. Hopefully it's more than just another run of the mill 8600GTS offering.

In the usual fashion we will have a look at what exactly Biostar have done to the particular 8600GTS here today before we venture into some benchmarking.
