Still only 128 bit. =\

 

[Mrvile]

Meh they also have it here for much less

Is this new or am I just slow?

 

[Mrvile]

Oh is it? The zipzoom one doesn't have the words 128mb on it at all...

That's really slow memory for a modern video card (4ns = 250Mhz cycle time = 500Mhz effective). This card is not going to be a very good performer, especially with AA/AF, since its bandwidth will be so limited. It has a quarter the bandwidth of a 6800GT, and less than half the bandwidth of a 6800NU.

Hmm. It was too good to be true anyway.

The 6600 GT 256 MB is way better than the normal 6600. It has almost double the clock speeds and has ddr 3 memory.

Haha ok link me to a 256mb 6600GT card for sale and I'll be a happy person.

256MB is still mostly worthless on a card as slow as the 6600, and probably not really worth it on the 6600GT.
