Galaxy 8600GT OC
Conclusion
Apart from the poor noise levels, the Galaxy 8600GT is a pretty sweet card. It has great performance for its price range, beating the x1950 Pro in almost all 3Dmark tests; other pros like the short length and single slot cooler are just icing on the cake. My recommendation? Get this card, fit it with a quiet aftermarket cooler and you will have yourself a fantastic budget gaming solution.
| Pros | Cons |

| Short and has single slot cooler | Buzzing sound while under load |
| Overclocks beyond “stock overclock” settings. |
