I read the 8600 isn't as good as what they hoped for.

Yeah it got my hopes up until I saw the benchies - I'm gonna wait for the geforce 9 series

Still waiting for 8300 GS&GT .. that model should be perfect for my needs ..

I'm waiting on the 8600 Ultra. I'm hoping it will be mid way between the 8800 GT 320 and the 8600 GTS. That should be the sweet spot for price/performance.
