The inferior scores in synthetic benchmarks like 3DMark also extended to Splinter Cell, though here the differences were marginal. We really doubt that anyone would notice if the ASUS EN8600GT Silent was not quite on par with the reference model here but it does point to a trend of not performing up to expectations, especially since it's priced a lot higher than standard GeForce 8600 GT cards. With competitors like the overclocked models featured here, having a passive cooler itself may not cut it with prospective consumers, especially since the Fatal1ty card is both overclocked and silent.
