Title: ASUS EN8600GT Silent video card review
Verdict: It's really quite simple to sum up the plus points of ASUS' EN8600GT Silent - Passive cooling is definitely a good thing if you're looking to build a silent or quiet running system, and even at reference clocks the GeForce 8600 GT is still the performance
Summary: Thanks to its lower clock speeds, the EN8600GT has no need for the massive heatsink utilised by its bigger brother, and thus offers a far more compact graphics board all-in-all. But just how well does it perform for its price point? As us

Title: ASUS EN8600GT OC Gear
Pros: Fast default performance, runs quietly
Cons: OC Gear's interface lacks read-outs for temperature and speed, relying instead on indicator lights
Verdict: Overall, the EN8600GT, with the OC Gear module, offers a convenient way to overclock and monitor your card's performance, but it costs $50 more than ASUS' regular EN8600GT graphics card. The extra cost, and only very slight performance advantages when ove

Title: ASUS EN8600GTS TOP
Pros: Fast performance, Doesn't take up two expansion slots, DirectX 10-capable, runs quietly
Cons: Doesn't come with a DVI-HDMI adapter, Produced slow frame rates in the Lost Planet DirectX 10 demonstration
Verdict: Despite its slow showing in the Lost Planet DirectX 10 demonstration, it's still unclear how well this card will be able to handle DirectX 10-based games. But, for current DirectX 9-based games, this card will perform well and its price, along with its ga

Title: Asus - GeForce EN8600GTS Silent
Verdict: This is an ideal card if you are building a silent PC where movie playback is important and gaming performance isn't the absolute priority, but its true home is in an HTPC, although not if you are using a slimline case.
Summary: good mid-range DirectX 10 card with HDCP support

Title: Asus EN8600GT OC Gear 256MB Graphics Card Review
Verdict: The ASUS EN8600GT OC Gear really didn't impress us with its performance prowess, but it did have a host of other features and options that distracted us enough to make us feel pretty good about this graphics card. While the card's GPU and memory clocks ar
Summary: Asus puts a new spin on the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT graphics card by including a nifty little overclocking tool - a dial on an external drive bay that also displays temperatures and frame rate.

Verdict:
Summary: Core clocks higher than GTS for €120 only Today we tested yet another 8600, and this one comes from Asus. The Asus EN8600GT card is a mid range DirectX 10 product, priced at around €120 in Euroland. Asus clocked its Geforce 8600GT at re

Title: Asus EN8600GT OC GEAR graphics card | silentpcreview.com
Verdict: After all our testing, we have mixed feelings about the Asus EN8600GT OC GEAR.
Summary: Asus is one of the few manufacturers who doesn't follow the mold with graphics cards. Not only do they produce both ATI and nVidia based cards, they seldom utilize the reference cooler; they even offer a wide variety of passively-cooled cards. The product

Title: ASUS EN8800GT TOP
Pros: Seriously overclocked. Good game bundle.
Cons: Pricey. Performance not that much better than the EVGA card.
Verdict: If you want a card that pushes the 8800 GT just about as hard as it will go, then this is the card you're looking for.
Summary: When Nvidia launched the GeForce 8800 GT, we called it a "dramatic leap forward." While Nvidia's latest GPU isn't quite as speedy as their super high-end 8800 GTX and 8800 Ultra cards, it gives up only a little performance for most users. Toss in a svelte

Title: ASUS EN8600GTS Silent video card review
Verdict: As far as performance goes, we've already discussed NVIDIA's GeForce 8600 GTS here at Elite Bastards several times, and the story remains the same - Although it does nothing ground-breaking performance-wise, it still offers very good DirectX 9 performance
Summary: Silent graphics boards aren't such a rarity these days, with a number of AIB partners offering passively cooled parts to differentiate themselves from the crowd. However, to move into the higher echelons of performance while still offering passive c

Title: Asus EN8800GT
Verdict: The 8800 GT is awesome. It's much faster and slightly more energy-efficient than its 8800 GTS predecessors, and it costs the same amount. Our only word of caution is that the BETA Vista drivers left a lot to be desired, although this should be sorted out

Title: ASUS EN8600GT
Pros: Comes with a large aluminium-based cooler
Cons: Isn't overclocked, Sluggish performance in DirectX 9-based games, Slightly overpriced
Verdict: While the cooler on this card differs from the norm, nothing else really separates it from the crowd. Its default clock speeds are slow for the price, so if you're looking for an inexpensive gaming card, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Title: ASUS EN8600GT Silent 256MB GDDR3 (GeForce 8600 GT)
Summary: Following the exciting and costly Fatal1ty edition of the GeForce 8600 GT, we now turn to another passively cooled GeForce 8600 GT, the ASUS EN8600GT Silent. While it is not overclocked out of the box, does it still measure up to the competition then? We'

Title: Asus EN8600GT OC Gear Review
Pros: Allows overclocking in real time; appealing front-panel-control design; quiet
Cons: Card is slow at stock speeds; no digital readout for clock speed; blocks an adjacent slot; must use software controls to overclock RAM
Verdict: The Asus EN8600 GT OC Gear's overclocking module is an innovative idea that deserves to be paired with a faster graphics card.

Title: Asus EN8600 GTS TOP
Pros: Decent price, DirectX 10-compatible
Cons: No HDMI, Only 256MB RAM
Verdict: A good stop-gap option - it's a pity there isn't more software around to take advantage of DirectX 10
Summary: The 8600 GTS is part of a trio of new cards from Nvidia that updates its entire mid-range line up. This particular model replaces the 7900 GS, while the 8600 GT and 8500 GT cater for more entry level systems

Title: ASUS EN8600GTS and Foxconn 8600GT-256
Verdict: So what we have here is a pair of cards that - at least in outright performance terms - offer questionable value for money
Summary: With AMD finally releasing its low-end and mid-range DX10-compatible graphics cards, the buying choices have widened considerably, though as we've already made clear, many questions still remain about the performance of these new parts

Title: Asus EN8600GT Silent/HTDP/512M Graphics Card | silentpcreview.com
Verdict: We cannot confirm nor deny the claim made by Asus that the EN8600GT Silent is "7°C cooler than generic boards." The use of the word "generic" really makes this statement ambiguous. Does it mean other passively cooled 8600GTs or are they are referring to 8
