GeForce 6600

I just got a new graphics card and being the n00b I am doing know how good it is. I am told it is very good but want to know what you guys think. Its a GeForce 6600 made by Xpert Vision. I just want to know the pros and cons of the graphics card. Thanks

 

It's alright, should have gone with the 6600GT

 

why whats the difference and why is it better?

 

The 6600GT has faster memory and core clock speeds (550MHz vs 1GHz/300 vs 500MHz) and that the 6600GT is specified to use GDDR3 instead of DDR or DDR2. GDDR3, if I'm right, is designed for graphics applications (the G part).

 

Faster clockspeeds.
6600:300MHz Core (I think) 700MHz Memory
6600GT500MHz Core 900/1000MHz Memory

It also depends on whether it's AGP or PCI-e and I think some cards have Open GL 2 instead of 1.5 (not too sure on this though)

 

Also, some 6600's (non-GT's) have 4 pixel pipelines, not 8 - a BIG performance hit.

 

Those might be the 6600LE's.

 

Oh right ok. So all in all the GT is better.
Thanks for the help!

 

The 6600 (non gt) has 8, the 6600 LE I believe has 6. The 6200 and 6500 have 4. The 6600 GT has better, faster ram and although the same core, its clocked higher.
