I need to check if i've been had or not, I asked for the 8600GTS but, don't know if ive got the ASUS 8600GT or ASUS 8600GTS.

In the Device Manager, Display Adaptors, its telling me that I have the NVidia 8600GT.

So I was wondering how you can tell the difference, using either software or even just looking at the hardware?

Thanks

The GTS requires more power and thus draws power from the PCI-e slot and directly from the PSU as well.
