Hi all,
Just got a question..
Does the Radeon 9800pro/XT beat the Plain ( NOT GT) version of the Geforce 6600..? Assuming all the cards have 128MB of RAM.

yes

it also gives a run for the money to the relatively newer 6600GT but loses out by a lil margin :p

Whoa! Are you very sure..?
Then the 6600 is a heck of a good buy in the 7K range. who is going to consider the 9600 series..?

sourabh, don't always bash nv

6600GT beats 9800XT easily but the the 9800 non Pro is the only one which gets beaten by 6600 non Ultra

best bang for buck right now is 6800 non Ultra with purevideo

Hey, I was considering a plain vanilla 6600. I know 9800XT's will beat
it hands down, but I want some new technology in my box. What new
technology? Don't know, don't ask.......

What's the best make/model for vanilla 6600's ?

Overall
My post should be correct but I can't be blamed for anything incorrect.
Search ,xbitlabs.com,gpu,27cards tested

128mb geforce 6600gt>256mb radeon 9800xt>128mb radeon 9800pro
overall especially with some games in opengl or some other games or some with aa,af @ 1600*1200 sometimes by large gaps,doom3 is and examaple,too much diff,about 80-100% maybe

But sometimes radeon 9800pro 128mb may soar ahead by 10-15% maybe,confirm it otherwise plz don't belive it i warn you

With a 9600XT prolly or a 9800SE, it doesnt come close to the 9800pro.
