In that list you can go left and right.

I am getting a new PCI Express mobo so I was thinking of getting this one:
Leadtek PX6600GT TDH Extreme Geforce 6600GT 128MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814122208
Because it has the highest Memory Clock speed as well as a higher Core Clock speed

From the link on top, which one would you guys choose?
 
I have a leadtek card, not the extreme one though, its a good card.
 
Leadtek makes good video cards, but if you need/want dual DVI then XFX is cheap and BFG is the top. My XFX AGP is sweet, I've been very happy. Will be even happier when i get a second 172x to compliment my current one.
 
I bought the Chaintech 6600GT, theres 2 versions 2 dvis and 1 dvi/crt, awesome and comes with Painkiller :D like that game hehe.

Theyre all basically the same I just went for the cheapest, known brand that is.
 
I got the gigabyte 6600gt... come with Joint Ops, it owns a lot.. comes with an overclocking program, dont use it though because i dont overclock
 
Get the gigabyte one the the Turbo Force Edition, it pure silent and its with VIVO, it come at a stock speed of 515/1120, i got one and its great.
 
I just put a Leadtek 6600GT Extreme Edition in my buddies computer, Its a killer little card. Stock speed is 550/1120
 
dont go for the extreme editioins of the 6600gt, just get hte 6600gt, if you want extreme edition, you might as well get the 6800
 
Don't get the Chaintech - I had it and it fried just randomly one day. Replaced it with an MSI 6600 gt and it's been smooth sailing so far.
 
MSI gets my vote. Has VIVO and a HUGE game/software collection with it. Looks great too. My clocks to 580/1140:)
 
I would agree with headbust. The msi is cheaper, has vivo and a great software bundle. Great card. Zipzoomfly currently has it for $168 after a $20 rebate.
 
I have the MSI and the cooling is not the greatest. Just popped on a nv silencer yesterday and my temps went from 53/60 to 44/55.

no problem with the cooling here. They did have problems on the first batch but thats it(first month of 6600GT's release)

Weird the one I got a couple of months ago gets at least a 8 hr a day use with World of Warcraft and going strong. ;)
 
I went with a eVGA 6600GT PCI-e today, so I could take them up on their Step-Up program within 90 days. (Got my eye on the 7800GTX hehe)
