Ofcourse its faster. Iit wouldn't be the future slot choice if it wasn't..-_-

thunderbolt · Post by **thunderbolt** » 30 Apr 2005, 11:39

they are only marginally faster.

Triskac · Post by **Triskac** » 30 Apr 2005, 11:44

it is faster but just theoretically yet

the best advantage of PCI-E 16x is now the SLI system imo.

Is it me or have the prices of cards plummeted?? i remember the 6800gt was like 400 at first now you can get it for like 300. same with the x800pro. its like 280 soemtimes. and ive noticed that its only the high end cards that dropped so much. and liek the 6600gt droped like 20. is it cause they keep making newer cards? or have they jsut dropped the price so they can get more buyers?

I got my GeForce FX 5500 for $130. 256mb of RAM and a 290mhz clock. Underground 2 looks reeeally pretty now.

After a bad experience with my Radeon 7000 series (which sucked compared to the nVidia it replaced) , I won't be switching back anytime soon.

I recommend that card to anyone who has the money

then i would say save a little more and buy a 6600.

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 17 Jun 2005, 14:08

yuo should definetley buy a 6600GT, but can your PSU support it? you need like a 300w PSU otherwise dont really bother cause your pc wont have enough juice to support it

i dunno this is my pc info

Dell Dimension 2400

Intel Celeron CPU 2.40GHz
2.39 GHz
512 MB Ram
Intel Extreme Graphics (Intergraded Card

)
i think my comp can handle the 6600GT

Empty Words was talking about your power supply rating. For ex. 300W 400W 450 480 and so on.....

korge · Post by **korge** » 22 Jun 2005, 01:23

Ive got a 350 powersupply for my 6600GT 256mb.

Would the nVidia GeForce 6600 GTOT be a good video card to buy?

S2000_Skyline12 · Post by **S2000_Skyline12** » 22 Jun 2005, 02:55

oh its 350w

Back track about a page and its what people have been talking about. Mine was 160 USD.

im guessing its DDR ram, cause i dont think they make the 6600GT in 256 GDDR3, only in 128GDRR3 versions, thats a decent price

i decided to buy a new gfx card and replace my integrated ATI Radeon 9100. i don't have a lot of money so i'm looking for cards up to â‚¬ 83,48/$101,42. i have 3 cards in mind:

ABIT RADEON 9550128MB CDT (â‚¬76,39/$92,80)

SAPPHIRE ATI RADEON 9550SE 128 (â‚¬74,30/$90,26)

SAPPHIRE ATI RADEON 9600SE 128 (â‚¬78,47/$95,33)

which one do you recommend and why?

Dragster · Post by **Dragster** » 25 Jul 2005, 14:10

Weird, I never heard of Abit video cards

Anyway...

The best choice is Radeon 9550CDT, because I run away from anything that has "SE" in the name. I don't know the specific reason, it's just experience on first hand.

From those three I would buy the first model, Abit Radeon 9550CDT 128MB, I believe that Abit manufactures quality hardware (motherboards, atleast).

/me recommends saving for Radeon 9600XT(101.25â‚¬ at my local dealer, I bought it myself, and honestly, you can't get a better card for that money)

jemc · Post by **jemc** » 25 Jul 2005, 14:25

9600XT is â‚¬134,83 here
