its better to wait for these things to mature... as of now... unstable pa kaayo ang drivers... especially for vista...

Yup it's a nice card, but daku kaayog kaon sa kuryente...hehehe.
Estimated prices are:

Palit 8600GT 256mb 128bit = 8k-9k
Palit 8600GTS 256mb 128bit = 9k-10k

Palit 8500GT Sonic 256mb 128bit = 8k-9k
Palit 8600GT Sonic 256mb 128bit = 9k-10k

Not much of significant advantage displayed by 8600GTS except in BattleField 2142 in performance. However, the AF quality is better on the 8600GTS, this to be mentioned.
In terms of overclocking, both are overclocking masters when overclocked the "professional" way... But close to 60% headroom can be garnered on the 7900GT but "only" about 35% on the 8600GTS. For how well this card overclocks, check here. However, the 8600GTS offers other goodies on top of slightly better performance in current games, Direct X 10 support, better Anisotropic Filtering Quality. Both cards don't run too hot on the core as well. Not a huge jump when one goes from 7900GT to 8600GTS on current games as yet, but for those looking for an DX10 capable upgrade from a low-end card at a cheap price tag can have an idea of this card's current performance.

8600GTS performance is a major disappointment.... it's only as fast as a 7900GS which sells for 149usd. yet they expect us to pay 199-249usd for it.

What's worse is the 128bit interface sucks when you run games at high res. As for DX10.... no games out yet and I'm not planning on vista anytime soon....
