Nvidia 8600 and 8500 shipping

nvidia is shipping it's mid-range Direct X 10 compatible card they go around 200$ for the 8600 GTS..and around 100$ for the low end 8500 GT.


The 8600 GTS seems to be faster than the X1950 pro.
nVidida continues with it's dx 10 line-up while ATI keeps delaying it's R600
Not very good for the consumer..
The line up goes like this;
8500 GT-8600 GT-8600 GTS-8800 GTS 320mb-8800 GTS 640mb- and the beloved 8800 GTX
AMD/ATI, are you still there...?
