EVGA GeForce 8600 GTS 512MB GDDR3

The EVGA GeForce 8600 GTS is a DirectX 10 graphics card built on the NVIDIA GPU with 32 CUDA cores. It ships with 512MB of GDDR3 memory across a 128-bit interface and a 675 MHz core clock. The board uses a PCI Express x16 slot and provides two DVI outputs plus HDTV, S-Video and composite connections. Maximum digital resolution reaches 2560 x 1600.

Upgrade from DirectX 9 or integrated graphics

This card replaces older DirectX 9 parts or motherboard graphics when you need Shader Model 4.0 support and hardware video decode for high-definition playback. The jump is worth it for systems that require 2560 x 1600 output or CUDA-enabled applications without moving to a higher power envelope. RoHS compliance ensures the board meets current substance restrictions.

Fits a single PCI Express x16 slot with dual DVI

Installation needs one PCI Express x16 lane and a case bracket for the two DVI ports and TV-out cluster. The 128-bit memory bus and 512MB frame buffer leave motherboard memory untouched for other tasks. A 400 MHz RAMDAC drives analog outputs cleanly while the digital links handle modern flat-panel displays up to the rated resolution.

Questions about this item

Does the card fit a standard PCI Express x16 slot?

Yes, it uses a PCI Express x16 interface and occupies a single expansion slot.

What is the common mistake when connecting the DVI cables?

Users sometimes plug the monitor into the motherboard video port instead of the card's two DVI outputs.

When should the thermal paste on the GPU be replaced?

Replace the paste if core temperatures rise above normal after several years of use.
