Leadtek 6600GT Extreme?

[Trizzay]

I'm considering getting a 6600GT for my new system, and I stumbled upon a couple cards that I'd like some input on. On newegg, there is a Leadtek 6600GT "Extreme Edition" listed Here. It looks like the clock speeds are a bit higher than the standard version here , so I was wondering if anything thinks it is worth the extra $20.

I keep hearing from friends that I should just bite the bullet and get a 6800, but that really isn't within my budget right now. I'll probably just be playing HL2 and CS:Source for the most part, so will the 6600GT be plenty for what I need?

my cousin has a Radeon 9800pro and he thinks its plenty for his needs, of course unless you plan on playing at 1280x1024 (aa, anso, lol, bbq)

Do you have a PCI express motherboard?

Yes....that's why I'm asking about a PCI Express card.

I think it is worth $20 and $30.

Yep, that's even faster than BFG's famous OC model.

sorry, had to ask.. you wouldn't beleive how many people we get here who look at PCIe cards and dont realize they cant use them.


I agree that Supreme looks nice.

THats a 50 OC on the processor, and 120 on the Memory. THats well worth it for $20. For the price i think thats a great card, and you probably wont find a better for the price. I would do it.
