8600 is already out...

Hey there,

Just checking in the comp vendors, I found some 8600 species... the 8600GT, GTX and the normal vanilla GT.

The GT and the GTX are equipped with DDR3, while the plain 8600GT works on DDR2.

My question is, how are they compared to 7600GT, or a 7900GS? I know the 8600GT is DX10 compatible (maybe the 8xxx series are Dx10)... but how far will it go?

and do these cards equipped with the Physics Processing Unit? I searched ALL over the box (the Gigabyte ones) but they never stated it at all.

From what I know, the 8800GTS must have one since they pasted the Ghost Recon all over the box. But not sure about the 8600.

If the 8600 is a good buy, I'll sell off the 7300, and get one instead. What do you think?
