NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS G86-731-A2 BGA Graphic Processor Chipset
Description:
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS G86-731-A2 G84M is the DirectX 10 capable successor of the GeForce Go 7600 / 7700 for laptops and technically a higher clocked 8400M GT.. The performance is slightly above the 7600 / 7700 and therefore it can represent current games fluently. For DirectX 10 effects, the power of the card is not sufficient. Current demanding games like Crysis are only playable with the lowest settings.
8600M is one of the first-laptop-GPUs, which support DirectX 10 and accelerate the H.264-decoding of HD-movies. In comparison the the 8600M GT the GS version features less video options.
The particularity of this video card are the "Unified Shader". Pixel- and vertex-shaders do not exist any more but 16 of the so called stream processors do the graphic work (which up to now pixel- and vertex shaders did).
