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.
