XFX Geforce 6600 128 MB = 7400/-
XFX Geforce 6600 256 MB =7950/-

It is a pretty decent card @ the price.

Its very good. Has good overclocking capabilities too{if you're the type......}. Certainly better than a Radeon 9600.

Enjoy! I forsee many sleepless nights ahead for you. It's called the honeymoon period :lol:

BTW you want to know what more can a 6600GT give you? Give me any 6600 plain benchmark and I'll give you a 6600GT comparison. Not 3DMark2k5, I don't have that.

:wink: ..no...no.....dont tell him to compare it with 6800GT....let him enjoy the gfx card ... dont compare it with high end one's...since he has already paid..nd nothing can be done abt it now....!!

a single rule i do follow.... compare ..compare....compare nd compare more BEFORE buying...but once u have purchased a product DONT COMPARE!!!

wht the hell u people think here....Even i know whats so special abt 6600gt...ddr3 mem...1000mhz mem bandwidth.....fine

but for me 6600 nongt is sufficient...coz i've
1] 1.5gb ram @ 400, p4 3.4 ee, 120 x 2 seagate
2] 1 gb ram @ 400, amd 3200 64, 200 maxtor
............overall i'm satisfied with wht i have got.
i even have radeon club & 5950 ultra

** actually i did collect some 12k for 6600gt....but further aimed to go for 6800....but then i received that card 6600 as a FREE GIFT.............so atleast i'm lucky to receive such awesome things as gift................then no matter whether its GT or not.



i'm not at all int. in spending a huge amt like 10k on just a graphic card..............better go & add some more RAM, HDD, new MOBO, dvd rw.....& LOTS MORE.

but for gaming the most omp parts are gpu and then cpu too is very important.

are you able to play hl2,painkiller,ut04,halo:combat evovled etc games at
1024*768 or 1280*1024,maxed settings getting atleast 40-60fps?
