KidDynamite Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 As posted from my favorite site, Shacknews. I know many of you are hardcore ATI fans or vice versu, i didn't start this thread for a flame war, i know some of you aren't keen on dropping big bucks on the newest and greatest cards, so I figured i'd post a semi inexpensive card that may be another option for you. I'd say my one miff about the cards at first is the whole PCI-Xpress only thing GeForce 6600 Announced NVidia today announced the GeForce 6600 series, which will include a regular version of that chipset along with a GT version. Both these cards are considerably more affordable than the 6800 cards, with the regular 6600 card setting you back $149 while the GT version will be $199. Though the press release mentions they'll have awesome performance in DOOM 3, that of course remains to be seen. There's a benchmark-less preview on Tech Report.

Duff-e Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 so which card did you end up buying mazy Quote
Mazy Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 X800 XT PE Allround it looks like a better card, although Doom 3 runs alot better on the latest nvidia cards, but im not gonna base my card purchase on 1 game. But these new cards r really close in preformance anyway so theres not really that big a difference in what you get. One card is good in some, another is better in something else. Quote
Duff-e Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 and another good point is that...while doom 3 is no doubt an amazing game....it doesnt seem like it will have the longevity of most other games (games that support many players) Quote
