How the hel1 7800 GT outperforms 8600 GT

This is pure cheat :mad:

In Specs I read that Core and Memory Speeds of 8600 GT are higher and also its 8 series card so must be a better architecture?

There is no such thing that all 8 series cards must be better than the 7 series cards. The 7600 rocks infront of the 8 series's 8400 cards...
7800GT has a memory bandwidth of 32Gbps compared to 24Gbps on the 8600GT :D Maybe this affects the performance.

nvidia did not spend much time developing G84 core(8600) thus the poor performance.

The 7800 is one of nvidia's high end GPUs whereas the 8600 is a mid range GPU.
And i think the 7800 is not available in India now.. the 7900 is available which is more expensive than the 8600 and gives better performance.. :D
