Geforce 6 series and ATI's X

[watler]

been lookin at the x700, which ranks under the 6600gt, but over the 6600


then i saw a cheap 6600gt, 127$

made by apollo, but i cant find any good info on apollo, jus this review, which looks nice

http://www.ocia.net/reviews/6600gt/page1.shtml

X700
Core Clock: 400 MHz
Memory Clock: 700 MHz
Pixel Pipelines: 8
Vertex Processors: 6
Memory: 128 MiB GDDR1 on a 128-bit interface

GeForce 6600 GT:

Core Clock: 500MHz
Memory Clock: 1000MHz (900MHz for the AGP version)
Pixel Pipelines: 8
Number of ROPs: 4
Vertex Processors: 3
Memory: 128 MB/256 MB GDDR-3 memory on a 128-bit interface


seems to be the norm, both round 120$ (the radeon is made by powercolor, whic has 400mhz memory, so id rather stay away from anythin other than an official ATi card)

Re: Geforce 6 series and ATI's X

I heard Apollo is shady. Powercolor I have heard is okay. I use a Saphire card personally, and like it.

That being said, its personal preference really. Are you running PCI-Express? Or AGP?

For example.....

The X700 out performs the 6600GT in Half-Life 2.

But, the 6600GT out performs the X700 in Doom 3.


Benchmarks can give you an idea, but they don't give you the real picture. I have two ATI cards and one Nvidia card, and I can say both will be good cards. Both have their plus and minuses.

Re: Geforce 6 series and ATI's X

i have half life 2, play DOD source alot, and i wonder if x700 can use HDR?
