Disappointing that things top out with the 8600M GT being listed as ‘performance’.

A 8600GTS desktop card probably couldn't compete with NVIDIAs GeForce Go 7900GS and GTX, let alone this lower clocked mobile part.

Guess we'll have to wait for 65nm parts before seeing a real performance DX10 mobile chip from NVIDIA.

these aren't the gaming gpu's though..it's not really their purpose.

You can play CS on a go 7400 @ 1280 x 1024 at around 50 - 60fps which is fine for a laptop so these should be ok for the very portable laptops.

Bob's right tho…..Nvidia are ruling the roost ina big way.

ATI/AMD will have to go volume……

Or (as has been said elsewhere) just get out a DX10 part without sucky drivers - for that is one area where nVidia couldn't even _find_ the roost right now.

I'm not bitter, i'm just a 8600GTS owner ;)

If you look on their site, they're not listed as Enthusiast, so it looks like the gaming versions will be released later.
