Unreal Tournament 3
I have included UT3, even though it is another UE3 game as it is a fast, frantic and furious multiplayer mash-up experience. Using advanced DirectX 9.0c features, the Unreal Engine looks fantastic and runs on almost all half-decent modern GPU's making it an ideal all-round test.

UT3 again showed a playable level at 1368 x 768 with no in-game lag at all.
Crysis
Crysis has to be our most challenging benchmark to date. Running under Windows Vista and using DirectX 10 path, Crysis was played at 1368 x 768 on "Medium" settings for this not so fast card.

Crysis on medium settings at 1368 x 768 was laggy at the points where combat came into the game. As this is the most advanced game in our tests this is slightly disappointing.

Ta, must have missed that
Nice review Matt..
I could be wrong here but when you say the increase of the overall 3DMark 06 results when overclocked is 200... Is it not 1000 ish??
I may well be wrong as I just scanned that part.. Will read in detail a little later.

Nice insight.
Certainly gets game spankage off the Ati alt card. Although the 3dmark scores are pretty much how I`d expect them to be.
Now they show this card sporting 3 possible outputs - can it manage that ?
1 BIG dissapointment for me, especially with it having HDMI as a standard connection, is no audio passthrough. MSI seem to have taken the corner of the market with this.
Hard to think the 8600 is about to become a `last generation` card.
