This week we compare the mid range offering, a Sparkle 8600 GT 256Mb which can be found at ~100 in stores, to a ~100 XFX 7600 GT 256Mb which comes with higher clock speeds. To round up the comparison we threw in a factory overclocked Calibre 8600 GT with 512Mb. Let's see if the new cards can beat the revived price/performance champ”
