Which graphics card to go with?

[axemanxt40]

I am torn between these two

Powercolor X800GTO 256MB GDDR3 256 bit

Leadtek 6600GT 128MB GDDR3 128 bit

Opinions?

I'm an Nvidia guy and I also have an AGP Leadtek 6600GT.
It has worked beatifully for me.

However, I have to be honest with you and say that IMO, I think the X800GTO would be a better buy.

X800GTO : 6600GT
Memory - 256MB : 128MB
Memory Inteface - 256-bit : 128-bit
Pixel Pipelines - 12 : 8

Relax! If we all did that, we wouldn't need or have a forum. Benchmarks are not always the answer. Sometimes personal experiences count for something.

The ATI will be the better card. As venerable as the 6600gt is it isn't really a match.
