anyone used a 6600?

[laxman144]

Has anyone here had any experience wth a plain nvidia 6600? not a gt, just a normal 6600?
If so, do you like it? and does it game well?

I've used one in a friend's computer.

Specs:
2500 barton @ 2.2
512 DDR400
Chaintech 6600
Asus motherboard

It runs games pretty well. He played Far cry on medium settings at around 40-50 fps or so. I'm a little rusty on the actual fps. Chronicles of Riddick ran ok too. Lagged in some areas but that's because of the older processor. Overall, I would SERIOUSLY recommend the 6600GT over the plain one. 40-50 bucks more gets you a lot more performance.

Hi laxman

i could only agree with luchbox, better get the gt instead. the better ram on the gt will get you a nice performance even in newer games.
only look at mentoks list, my card has the lowest ram speed which leads to the lowest performance, my gt with the same core an ram about 1200mhz scores over 4k !!
that's defenately worth the extra buck's

take care
Chris

I concur with the above posters. Besides, it's only about $30 more, if you can't afford that...don't eat for a day and you're ready (hey, keeps your weight down too).

I have got a 6200 in my backup rig that unlocks to a 6600. It plays pretty well for a cheap card.
