XFX GeForce 6600LE a good card for upgrading?

Akareza · 02-18-2006, 01:38 PM

i wanted to upgrade my video card to get better gaming and TV(on comp) graphics
right now i have
256MB ATI Hyper Memory PCI-Express X16 (DVI/VGA/TV out) Radeon X600 SE

and wanted to upgrade to
XFX GeForce 6600LE / 256MB DDR / PCI Express / SLI / DVI / VGA / TV-Out / Video Card($111 CAD)

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...sp?CatId=1558&

is the geforceLE better than what i have right now? if it is how better is it gona be i want it for games such as EVE and also watching TV on comp. i think the above card is SLI which means it uses power of 2 gforce 6600... but is the mark LE good?

You doubt posted. But no, the LE (Limited edition) Isnt very good.

I would look for the 6600GT, its good.

I thought LE stood for Lite Edition. Either way its not as good as the 6600GT standard

Ah well, the E is definatly Edition, not so sure of the L

Here's my go:

IS IT WORTH IT? - NO!
SLI MEANS TWICE THE POWER - NO! (it means you can use two of the cards in SLI configuration)

The 6600GT will naturally work better than the 6600LE.

LE stands for "low end"
6600LE is worse than the normal 6600, so it is better to go with 128MB 6600GT it is about the same price but alot better

the differences arent that great anyway, i would save up some more money and get an x1600XT.

maroon1 · 02-18-2006, 11:44 PM

the difference between what 6600GT and 6600 LE?
6600GT is 8 pipes and it is 500/1000 while 6600LE is just 4 pipes and 300/550

so there is a big difference between them

Sorry i should have clarified, i meant between a x600SE and a 6600LE.

TY for the feedback
so the LE edition isnt that good.. thing is i was looking for a price of about 100$ CAD
Also the reason for this upgrade is the tv qualty on my comp is good but not great although i have a good flat panal.. is the video card to blame for this?
