Maybe its really a Rebadged 9800GT 
If thats the case, I wouldn't complain, thats decent numbers for sure, and near the same clocks as my EVGA 9800GT.

Nah, this 8600GT was send to me straight from XFX. I got it before it reached the store shelves, a loooong time ago. But anyways: I don't think this is right.... The 9800GX2 and 8600GT run on a 680i board in slot 1 and 3.
I think, somehow, while setting up all three clients something went wrong. I'm pretty sure that that's the case. As it looks right now, the second GX2 client is doing 1390PPD(on a 1888), the first GX2 is doing 4797PPD(on a 1888) and the 8600 is doing 4989 (on a 768). I start GPU 1, then GPU 2 on the GX2 and then I start the 8600GT.
I think shortcut 'GPU 2' somehow starts up the 8600GT and shortcut '8600GT' starts up the second GPU client on the 9800GX2. Little complicated ey?

But I've seen it before. It happens that the second GPU on the GX2 does less points than the first. Who knows... i'm still racking up 12K PPD on this rig and that is fairly stable!
Below is a pic of the above described issue. Let's see if we can find more results out there....
