Radeon 9800 Pro or GeForce 6600GT?

mrjack · 07-29-2005, 10:12 PM

I'm updgrading my memory and GFX card, which card should I choose? R9800 Pro or GF6600GT? Which one performs the best in games? I have seen both get pretty good benchmark results but never both in the same test when someone has tested multiple GFX cards. I mainly play HL2 and GTA SA, so with GTA SA in mind the GF6600GT might be better due to some major bugs with the game when it is played on a PC with an ATi GFX card. But which one is better overall?

By the way the card has to be AGP

The 6600 GT is in a whole different league than the 9800 Pro. If you want the ATI equivilent you will have to go up to an x700 or x800.

Ok, thanks. But do you guys know what kind of PSU is minimum? Like how many watts? How come some of the GF6600GT's I've seen have 1000MHz on memory when the others have 900MHz?
