6600GT Obsolete??

[Mrvile]

A single 6600GT doesn't cut it [for hardcore gamers], and people say that one is better off with a 6800 Ultra than 2x 6600GTs SLI'd. Therefore 6600 has no use? Confused...

 

[n0cmonkey]

The 6600 is for people that don't spend $500 on video cards. The 6800s are for you people. 😛

 

[Yolner]

The short answer is yes but for a person on a budget its a nice card

Now think of the crazy mofos that'll use 6800 ultras on an SLi setup when they're available.

lol the highest I plan to go is 6800GT SLI'd, but even still that's 600 bucks. I originally planned on twin 6600GT's, but like I said, that's not gonna work so I guess the plan is single 6800GT, then when prices drop pick up another one.

and i'll stick with my geforce 3 ti 500 .

Now that was a card! Farcry made me sell it tho 🙁 . Oh well i spend 150 on a 9800pro and can play anything I want on high quality. Oh well, if you got the money spend it i guess

I've decided to keep using my o/c'd 9800P for a while longer, too. I'll wait and see what happens over the next 6-8 months. I'm considering going NF4 Ultra or SLI/S939 next spring. A new AGP card would be a foolish investment for me to make in the meantime.

Dual 6600GT in SLI is still a nice option IMO.

800 not 600. the 6800gts are 400sih each.

think about dishing $1k for dual Ultras. Or $1.2k for dual ultra extremes. lol

 

[SonicIce]

6800UE's virtually don't exist.

 

[SonicIce]

Oh, and just think: when R500/NV50 come out, even dual 6800U's will be obsolete!

 

[OMGoddess]

Damn that'll be sweet to have a setup like that.

you obviously know nothing about both the 6600 and 6800 , you probably have a 9600 no pro, right ? The 6600 GT is significantly better than 9800 pro and XT, so it does have its uses, given the fact that up to a few months ago 9800 XT was the best for hardcore gamers. So it's certainly good for most people looking to spend $200, and probably for serious gamers as well. As for "hard core", by which I guess you mean people who want the best possible perofrmance no matter what the price, 600 GT in dual SLI is actually better the 6800 ultra most of the time. Actually, you may be surprised to know, given you clueless post, that many people are anxiously waiting for the availability of 6600GT on AGP since it looks like the best all around value card for gaming. I guess the 9800 pro will go down in price to below $150 when that happens.

Best Buy gets BFg 6800GTs for a tad under 300 . . . .

Does the 6600 comes with dual DVI?
