Wow how many times to people have to be told this. Nvidia only the second digit on the card matters not the first 6600 is better than 7300

BY that logic, a 7900gt should be better than an 8800gtx. It's not.

I would prefer to look at benchmarks to determine which card is better, and in in this case the 6600 is.

The 6600 is way better.
I'd go with it.

That is correct, sir. :)

Re: 2 graphics cards

7300 is the better one i think u can double up on cards anywayz

Re: 2 graphics cards

are YOU kidding me!
a 7300LE is the integreted card for the 7 series.
and for the 6 series, the 6600GT OC is the fastest in the 6 series.
correct me if im wrong.

Re: 2 graphics cards

sounds about right, 6600GT is a performance card where the 7300LE is just a card manufactures put them in for noobs to think they have a good card where the 6600GT is built for gamers

Re: 2 graphics cards

thx and would you classify the 6600 as a somewhat high end card. i think i could run med-high in bf2 right?

6600GT was a high mid-end card...see...two 1/2 years ago? 6600 was a middling step down, but still a decent enough card. Sure. if you've got 1 gig of ram, you should try to run the effects that really matter on high, say view distance and geometries, then medium for the rest, except dynamic light to low and dynamic shadows OFF (shadows ON hides people you're trying to gun for and it uses up a lot of horsepower), all at 1280x1024 and 2xAA.

If you get severe lag, I'd try bumping down the res to 1024x768 OR reducing some of the settings. Always keep geometries and view distance to high for best competitive advantage with what you see.

Alternatively, you could buy a good cooler ($30 Zalman 9000cu) for your 6600 and make it run @>6600GT speeds, methinks. And you can recycle it if you upgrade. :)

^ i think it is mostly lighting that hides ppl in the shadows of buildings
so id turn lighting to low since its also bad for performance

Re: 2 graphics cards

now how does it fork cause i have 2 gigs of ram. that must be high

arg i have a agp comptuer and its annoying. whats the best gpu that i caget that not outrageous price (600) thats agp

There's a new gen of very vanilla (mid-end) gpu's out:

x1600PRO agp
7600GS agp

If you can find one, an x850xt or a 6800gs would be better, probably even a x800xt would be better (256-bit interface, GDDR3, and exceptional core speeds go along way toward making an older tech run faster)...but those are getting hard to come by in AGP flavor.

7800GS is the top dawg of agp, BUT it has a price to match ($200-250).

+1 CV for the lighting info. I stand corrected.
