Re: New graphics card

OK,

Just get a 7800GT, they are in the sweet spot right now.

The 6600GT is good, but dont get the 256mb version. Only get the 128. You dont need the extra memory on a 6600GT, its only useful on 6800-7800 cards.

Good luck.

Re: New graphics card

I suppose that it gives a little more better perfomance if you have 256mb card, and I'm getting this card for free so Ill get the 256 ver.

Re: New graphics card

Sapphire has the worst support for their products, and their quality is not one of the best. I know because I had 2 cards from them before, and I'll never do it again.

Oh, and SFR-MAINE, how the heck did you get your 6600GT's core to 550?!?!? Can't even get my 7800GTX to 500 with good cooling on it.

Um, his stock is 500/1000, it's not too hard to get to 550/1200, i got to 450/1100 with my card. His core clock starts at a higher mhz, so it's easier. And I dunno about Saphhire, just a ton of reviews say that. And on all the hardware forums (not this one though) people are saying how good it is.

Re: New graphics card

I love people that recommend PCI-E video cards to people with AGP systems and are just asking for an AGP card. It proves how inexperienced in comp tech advice they are XD

Leopardi, 6600GT will do fine, but if you can get your hands on a stronger card like a Geforce 6800 GT/Ultra, or ATI's X800Xl or higher, you should be set. Adding more ram would help, if you got the slot.

But, down the line, think of an upgrade soon...since vid cards moving to PCI-E...

Re: New graphics card

I'll get XFX 6600 GT 256Mb, and I'll buy a new computer next summer...The X800Xl is too expensive in finland, 320€ :[
