I am asking this coz i have seen many reviews that 8600gt is a very bad card, even if compared to 7600gt!
For the Value of money there is no better card than the 8600Gt series!
Go ahead its really good and if you can overclock it there is nothing like one.Upto 30% Increase with stock cooling.

If u mod an 8800 gtx to an 8800 ultra then u then the temperatures will soar to unwanted levels I think the same is the case is with 8600 gt to gts mod but its more risky as the gt version of the 8600 cards misses out on the power connector front.
The 8600Gt doesnt have 6 pin or any power connector except for the PCIe power that it gets.
So the over clocking takes a hit when we over clock it.So if one wants insanely overclocked Card this is not the one .Higher Volt mods are really out of question.But you are right this is the safest card to clock.
Still its a great deal for 8600Gt .Later when you are done we can even do SLI with it.
