How is it possible that the GeForce 8600 GTS is twice as fast as the 8600 GT in some select benchmarks? I can concede that I have one myself (XFX GeForce 8600 GTS, not Foxconn), and even overclocked, from what I've compared the results are no place near that. Noticeable, yes, but not 1.6x-2x.... and not consistently 1.4x-1.5x. Closer to 1.2x-1.4x. I know it (8600 GTS) has noticeably more memory bandwidth (in comparison to the 8600 GT), as well as fillrate, but is the Foxconn model a 512MB one? Or is it overclocked? That would bring lucidity. Otherwise, that difference is stretching it out by far, unless I'm mistaken.
