Re: Nvidia 6600GT any good?
 
The 6600GT Dual GPU card would be a better bargin. It's faster than a 6800 Ultra on most games, and gets a score of 14,000 on 3DMark03. Only problem is you need a specific motheroard for it to work (which it's bundled with the card and a wireless LAN card, at approx £300 on OcUK) and if any games don't support SLI it will only use the one GPU (acting as a standard 6600GT, but for some reason it out-performs a standard 6600GT in single GPU mode).

I'm still thinking of getting the 6600GT Dual GPU, but also the 6800 Ultra has caught my eye :erm:

An extra £25 on top of his £150 will get him a standard X800 if he shops around.

This is an excellent idea :) a friend has the 3D1 the kit is gigabyte(ive been happy with giabyte stuff ive used), with a 3200 and he is very happy with it,but if you can afford the ultra it will be a better single card and if you buy a sli enabled one you can always add another once lottery is won:)

If you are going to go high end, might aswell wait for the new Radeon R520. The performance looks like its going to destroy any of the current top end cards.

I sold my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro to Gareth and bought a 6600GT to get me on to PCI Express. Too be honest there really isn't much in it. Both are very good mid range cards.

£150+à ƒÆ’‚£25 is not less than £150..

Actually, the X800 would be a better option if that £150 limit is not a hard limit, but if the OP cannot afford to go a bit higher, then the 6600GT is a perfectly capable card.

You can also pick up a 6800 for £159, surely a far better bet.

blimey, where? the lowest i found was £180...

i see what you mean, theres a decent performance jump for not a lot more cash, but for <£150 i still think the 6600GT is the best bet.
