My friend has two video Cards and does not now which one to keep?

They are: Leadtek Winfast Titanium 200TDH 128 MB

Leadtek Winfast 6600LE 256MB

Any help will do? :
 
6600LE is the best of the pair by far. The 200TDH is three generations older than the 6600LE.
 
True dat. As crappy a joke of a video card as the 6600LE is, the simple AGE of the 200TDH knocks it out as a contender. Since it was the mainstream card in the lineup, we've had the GeForce4, GeForceFX, GeForce 6k and GeForce 7k series cards.

A 5-generation-old card is NOT going to be any good for any modern titles. Heck - it doesn't even have dual display outputs (only one RAMDAC)!

How much he can afford is irrelevant. You can buy cards MUCH cheaper than a 6600LE that are MUCH faster than it (about 75% of the cost gets you a Radeon 9800 Pro, which would be around 150%-200% faster).

It's just a crappy card, that's all there is to it.
 
yea definitely keep the 6800 le you've got more support for newer games with teh shaders, etc

It's a 6600LE, not 6800LE. Big difference. Only 4 pixel pipelines. Low core and memory speeds. 128-bit memory access to TSOP chips!

BTW, I was slightly off on the ratios.
GeForce 6600LE : 1452 3dMark05 : $86 shipped
Radeon 9800 Pro : 2528 3dMark05: $70 shipped (used)

So, it's actually 81% of the cost getting you 175% of the performance.
