nVIDIA 8600GT DDR2 vs DDR3 in 12 Games

Tue 2007-10-23 - Posted by Martin "Langaleer" Finbow

When two cards run exactly the same gpu, but have different types of memory, it always adds to the confusion to you, the buyer. Is DDR3 better than DDR2? Should you really have to worry about one over the other?
Well our friends at MadShrimps have posted a comparison of the 8600GT GPU with both DDR2 and DDR3 to try and help out with the confusion.

Here’s what they had to say:

“In this review we take a closer look at the Club 3D 8600 GT based video card, it comes with no less than 512Mb DDR2. We compare the performance of this card in twelve of the most recent games, including Team Fortress 2, Unreal Tournament 3, Quake Wars, Bioshock and many others against a 256mb DDR3 8600 GT and previous mid-range champ, the 7600 GT”
