We take Inno3D's GeForce 8600 GTS iChiLL Xstriker3 for a spin to find out if it brings anything new to the table. It's factory overclocked, comes with an interesting cooler and an extended warranty. It all sounds good on paper, so could this be the GeForce 8600 GTS to get?

Inno3D have done an excellent job on the cooling there, shame on the card though!

As this seems to compare with a 7950gt, it would have been nice to see a comparison with that in the perfomance bit (especially as you mention it earlier with regard to quiet cooling).
Other than that, great, thanks!

Performs decent enough, but honestly who the hell names these cards?

The cooler design is good, but as you say, its spoilt by the green pcb, would look much better with a black pcb
