villo Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 I've been weary about nvidia lately, the FX line was just crap up until the 5950. I think they realized that halfway completed projects are not going to sell. The 6800 line is very impressive, bringing a chunk of their audience back, but what about budget cards? This link really impressed me: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2196 In some of the tests, the 6600 GT even topped the X800 XT Platinum (not for long obviously), but I think I know which card i'll be aiming for next.

Check out THG's review of the 6600GT, pretty impressive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4m Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 how much will the 6600's cost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 That looks really great. Perhaps it'll be my next upgrade... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oralpain Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 Memory bandwidth on the 6600GT is too low. Seems to do ok for it's price range though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoArmistead Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 I've been an ATi fan for a long time. I used to like nVidia cards more, but in the past few years, ATi seems to have come out with cards that suited me better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quazi Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Well, it seems as though ATI have been releasing their Cat drivers that haven't been allowing the X800 series of cards to utilize all 256MB of memory that the cards have. They have been only able to utilize 128MB of the 256 MB. With the release of the 4.10 betas (and will soon be officially released) this problem has been addressed and the X800 series of cards are now able to use all 256MB available to them.

Xato Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 I'm running an MX440 right now, so i pretty much hate nVidia... lol I'm buying a 9600 XT in a few weeks, then in another few months, i'll be getting a 64 bit system togethor with a x800pro or XT... or the equivalent at the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayampirupiru Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 I have been an Nvidia fan for so long since the first generation. But it is the time to change. Even though 6800 line card is very impressive the cost is too high. Ive heard a lot abt ATI n now decided to give it a try. For a start Im getting a 9800PRO which a lot of ATI fan called the "proven performer" so if Im satisfied with the performance there will be a chance for me to close my eyes on Nvidia.

clamothe Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 Xato, are you going to be selling that 9600xt once you get your new system? If so, post something on these forums around that time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a start Im getting a 9800PRO which a lot of ATI fan called the "proven performer" so if Im satisfied with the performance there will be a chance for me to close my eyes on Nvidia. The new ATI cards are in exactly the same price range. The ATI cards pwned the fx series, but Nvidia had been and is now a solid performer next to ATI. That 9800Pro should do you good for a little while, I've heard that it's a great card. Close your eyes on Nvidia? Okay, sure. The FX junk pile is no longer current, Nvidia learned it's lesson from that screw-up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
