GeForce 6600 GT

 

[necro007]

any main reason why you would choose the 6600 gt?

 

[Cookie Monster]

Its faster, across all benches.
And looks like its cheaper in Canada then the X700 pro.

The 6600GT comes with couple of features like S.M 3.0 (doesnt really matter) and etc.
Silent as well.

 

[necro007]

This 6600 gt is a BFG model, do you know anything about this company, like is quality or reliability of this model.

 

[Cookie Monster]

Lets see, they have life time warranty.
OCed by 20 mhz, so extra performance.

BFG is pretty awesome company. Good service too.

 

[necro007]

If you were to compare BFG's version of the 6600gt and lets say Gigabyte, MSI, Saphire.
Which would you say tops in reliability, performance and overall gameplay?

 

[imported_Kensai]

BFG is the best of everything out of those. I would choose eVGA over it though.

6600Gt > x700 Pro.

 

[Munky]

I'm not sure how it is in canada, but down here in the US you can get a x800 for the same price as a 6600gt, and the x800 is a faster card in almost everything except maybe doom3. But yeah, between the x700 and the 6600gt, the 6600gt is the winner.

 

[necro007]

So overall the 6600 gt rocks and the X700 Pro Does not!!!

Also what other card would you say is the same as or even better then the 6600 gt. Im looking for a card thats 256 at a price range of $335-can or lower.

 

[M0RPH]

Like Munky said, check out the X800. ZipZoomFly has good deals on a couple of them right now with rebates.

 

[necro007]

wats their web site?

 

[BenSkywalker]

X800XL- $310.99 Canadian

6800 $290.99 Canadian

Both 256MB parts, both in your price range, both better then the 6600GT and way better then the x700.

ZZF doesn't ship to Canada, or they charge the whole effing house for shipping; i forget which, i just know it's not worth wasting time with them.

necro007, you can find the 6600GT (my recommendation) for less than $279 Cdn.!

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?...54&vpn=128-P2-N368-TX&manufacture=eVGA
$208.62

Or if you can afford it, the X800XL BenSkywalker mentioned is even better

 

[necro007]

Come to think of it i can afford $335.00 +tax. But how is evga, leadtec,connect,ATI compared to BFG???

Which would you choose???

 

[MercenaryForHire]

Those are awful prices.

6600GT for CDN$200
X800Pro for CDN$230

- M4H

 

[necro007]

The price is great but i want a 256 6600gt. And how is evga?

 

[necro007]

I mean is it good or bad?

Argh...having more RAM doesn't mean better performance.

If you want a 256 MB card, get the X800 Pro refurb deal.

Don't waste your money on some silly 256 MB 6600GT.

 

[necro007]

Ok but that X800 Pro refurb deal, wat if thers a problem with the card. Did you ever buy a refurb card?

Refurb card is fully warranted and usually does not have any problems or it'll be listed. usually the person returned it or exchanged it for a better one + money... It's just a business. But it'll be covered.

 

[necro007]

ok. But how is evga, leadtec,connect,ATI compared to BFG??? which would you choose???

 

[necro007]

Is there no one brave enough to answer my question????

Is this 6600Gt 256bit? , ive seen some 6600GTs come with 256mb ram, and 256bit bus. (Awesome)

How much is a 6800GT? in Can? or even a 6800LE or Non ultra?

All 6600GTs are 128-bit. If you want 256-bit you need to move up to 6800 or X800.
