what one is better i have a 9800 pro in my current rig and i am left with getting a agp card for my gf's rig if the gt is better it goes in my rig if not ill keep my 9800
 
From personal experience, comparing my friends rigs at our lan parties, the difference really isn't all that much. Recently ATI updated their drivers with better OpenGL performance, so many of the benchmarks are obsolete. But if I had to choose between the two I'd get the 6600gt just because it has later technology.

ATI improved the memory controller on the x1800 line of cards when using AA and AF. Other cards saw no benefit. 6600GT for the win.
 
The 6600 GT is better than the 9800 Pro.

Perhaps a 9800 XT would be closer of a match, but that card is hard to find, and will most likely cost you more than what you could get a new 6600 GT.

Go with a 6600 GT, if you're on a budget.
 
My stepdads comp had a 9800Pro in it. He just got a 6600GT from a buddy for a cheap price, and put it in.

The 6600GT is signifigantly faster in all games.
HL2
MS flight sim 04
COD and expansion pack
Sims2
BF2
BF vietnam
BF 1942 and expansions


All those games. Its faster in every one of them.
 
I would say 6600 just cause it is very hard to get a 9800 Pro, I can't believe ATI disco this thing before it's prime! :confused:
 
6600GT easily. I went from a 9800 to a 6600GT and it was like night and day. I honestly don't know if I'll ever go back to ATi at this point. :p
