Is the 256Mb GeForce 6600GT a good card?

Kornowski · 08-02-2006, 11:57 AM

Hey,

I'm still trying to find another card to replace my crappy intergrated GeFroce 4 64MB (don't laught

) and I was wondering if the 256Mb GeForce 6600GT was a good card, it reads up pretty well, but I wanted to get your opinions, Thanks!

Depends on the price and what you consider to be "good" It's definetly better than the old GF4(whatever model) but it's certinally not top of the line today.

Will it run all of the latest games on fairly high settings and it's £105...

meanman · 08-02-2006, 12:32 PM

no it wont but it will run them on medium/low settings
for a bit more money you could get this

XFX GeForce 6800 GS 256MB GDDR3

what slot you using eg pci-e or agp

Kornowski · 08-02-2006, 01:09 PM

An AGP slot...

Would the XFX GeForce 6800 GS 256MB GDDR3 run then Ok on resonable settings? It's a bit expensive though, but the 6600GT is still a good card, right?

It seems a good card but it's a bit too expensive, Will the 6600GT cope with the new games?

robina_80 · 08-02-2006, 01:27 PM
