Why is the Geforce 8600GTS such a big deal? It is after all a mainstream GPU, not built blast though games like a howitzer, and not bound to break the all time gaming scores either. Instead, what videocards like the Foxconn 8600GTS-256 offer us up DirectX 10 and Microsoft Windows Vista compatibility. Previously, the only other card cable of these two points were the expensive Geforce 8800GTS and 8800GTX models. In the PCSTATS test labs we're still seeing spotty game play in Vista, so perhaps just dual boot with WindowsXP for the next little while. When Microsoft, nVIDIA, ATI and game developers sort out running older games on Vista, upgrade then. In the mean time there is a huge list of DirextX 10 games on the horizon to look forward to; Unreal Tournament 3, Crysis and Guild Wars 2 just to name a few. I took a look through the screen shots posted on the developers websites, and I'll tell ya, I can not wait!! I predict that once you go DX10 gaming, you'll never go back.
