Nice. I got similar 3DM05 scores with my voltmoded 7900GS (700/800) and similar SM2/HDR scores in 3DM06.

This is exactly the reason why I want the 8600GT, very good performancerice ratio...I'll either get this or the 2600XT this summer for my new build

And btw, this card only cost me $125 after rebate.

I was going to go for a 8600GTS but that was about $50 more, and I'm on a tight budget (my RAM only cost me $57 shipped ) so I'm happy I chose the 8600GT.

CuriouslyHigh

Those are similar scores to my X1950XT -- it may be due to the 1ghz gain your processor has on mine (not overclocking at this moment), but it's still something impressive.

Pros: I loaded up Bioshock and maxed out the settings, but this graphics slit the game's throat then ate it's entrails for dessert. It slammed Assassin's Creed's head onto the curb then stomped its head into that curb until it was nothing but a bloody pulp. This card is one bad mo-fo. It'll backhand your sister and degrade your mom, but they will still love it and want to date it because it is just that good. I love this card so much that I burned my tongue trying to french kiss it, and I still keep trying.

So to hit 6k all I have to do is vmod everything on the card eh? Great stuff, but I'll stick with my 12k un-vmodded 2900XT

Still impressive nonetheless. This is what Overclocking is all about guys.
