312379 2005-01-10 09:37:00 1 . 6600gt wastes X600 and X700!! :thumbs:

2 . Nvidia owns the midrange market!! :cool:

3 . Ati will bring out X800 se to compete against the 6600gt and lower price to get in the game again, if they dont they loose out on too much money in the middlerange market period . :D

312380 2005-01-10 09:40:00 ATI would be better off giving repackaging the 9800xt as a midrange card, The 9800pro and XT can beat out the 6600gt when AA and AF are enabled...so with a little extra grunt would kill it right across the board. Desperado (6407)
312381 2005-01-10 10:09:00 You know how the game works,Nvidia top dog Geforce 4 then, Ati top dog for a while 9000 range, got to share the money you know!! :thumbs:

As for us, get whats best at the time you have the money . :2cents:

You cant win, the moment you buy the best its replaced by the new best from which ever company . :(

Thats the computer game for you! :D

312383 2005-01-10 10:24:00 1. Google is your friend.

2. Do your own research like the rest of us,I have done my share for you.

3. You decide for yourself which card to get its your money.

4. Then you cant tell us off, if you dont like it.

Ok

The 6600GT is 128bit compared to 256bit on the gecube , yet the speeds of both core and memory are much higher , plus it looks cool , so by my research the 6600Gt is better

Am i right , or is 256bit so good ?

The 6600gt is better in the regard that it is a bit more powerful and based on newer tech,However due to it using 128 bit memory it takes a bigger performance hit when image enhancing effects such as Anti-ailising and ansitropic filtering are enabled .

The 9800pro maybe the better choice when used on an LCD,seeing as the resolution will be capped you would want to enable AA and AF .




All depends on how you like your games set up,what your running them on etc etc .



Personally i purchased the 6600gt .

312386 2005-01-10 11:08:00 1 . According to my research looking cool doesn't make something perform better . Its to suck noobs in to buy it .
Look at all the cool lights in that case as an example ie all riced up,all show .

2 . Like I said your money,your choice . :2cents:

3 . I got a 6800 16 pipe gpu baby! :D

4 . Do some research on if 128/256 makes a difference . (there are other fourms to look at) .

5 . READ #2 AGAIN!! :annoyed:

312387 2005-01-10 23:26:00 The 6800 isn't that much too get excited about, it has a known HARDWARE bug that can't be fixed. Despite it's performance it is a flawed product.
