Actually the 8600GT is better than the 8800GTS. So the 8600GT is only a small step below the 8800GTX.

well the new 8800GTS (512MB) is more powerful than the 8800GT and less powerful than the GTX and the Ultra(which is the best).

Some nice feedback there, thanks gents. A bit of gloating also but nevermind.

Seems like the 8600 is well respected for the family guy but for the single man with a little extra cash to burn an 8800 is the way to go.
And then for the lottery winner there's the GTX range, always a winner.
