Galaxy GeForce 8600 GTS

So here we see the new Galaxy GeForce 8600 GTS. A lot of stuff is customized on this card both internally & externally.

Internally for example the Shader core was pumped from 1450 towards 1620 MHz, which is a very interesting move. Furthermore have a look at the new design Zalman heatpipe based cooler. That's nice gear !

At the back we see the 6-pin power connector. The card should roughly consume 75 Watts when it peaks with the overclocks.

Here we see the heatpipes come together at the GPU block.

The jumpers you see are for future stuff. I know one of them is to disable the alarm buzzer. The other one will be related to the SmartPanel function, which is yet to be released. This promises to be a pretty interesting card for sure. Let's have a look at the next manufacturer in line: Point of View.
