If its rated @ true 300W then it shud work without any problems unless u have a lot of optical drives and Hdds

XFX 6600GT 128 MB : Rs. 11,500
XFX 6600GT 256 MB : Rs. 12,700
XFX 6800GT : Rs. 23,500
XFX 6800 Ultra : Rs. 33,000

GIGBYTE 6600GT 128 MB : Rs. 9,850

GAINWARD 6600 NON-GT 256MB DDR3 : Rs. 7250 approx

So what u ppl suggest

1) For under 10K Category
2) For under 17K Category

I could not find gaiward 6600gt golden sample.. XFX Floods Mumbai Market...

The gainward 6600GT golden sample was available with mediatech last time afaik for 11.5+VAT. Among these cards you could go for the gigabyte 6600GT, gr8 card, quality components ! The 6600 aint worth it since the price difference is too low between the GT and nongt.

[khandu]

was it 256 MB or 128 MB ???

I called up mediatech and they r stupid.. they said PCIe dosent have GT series..

I am thinking to go for Geforce 6600GT 256 MB.. After a lot of review reading X700 ATI was a close call.. but Geforce beats it..

Please tell me which company

XFX / Gainward / Club 3D etc...

and pricing plz if anyone has it..

[thegame_rulez]

hello ppl..
wats the cheapest available geforce 6600gt?(agp)
i want a card in the range 9000-10000..
also how much power supply does it require?
i have a combo drive,2 fans and 120 gb hdd. and am running on a 300 watts psu..oh and i also have a geforce 5200.
and is there a considerable difference between geforce 6600 non gt(agp) and 6600 gt(agp)?

[khandu]

there is a hell of diff between non GT and GT.. definetly go for GT6600

can some1 still suggest me company for 6600GT 128 or 256 MB

and can some tell me the phone number of lami shop sellling gainward golden sample.. mediatech is saying they dont have 6600GT

No point in getting the 256Mb version, it doesnt benefit afaik on the 6600GT. Settle for the 128Mb version. Get the gigabyte or gainward or leadtek, cost arnd 11-13k for the respective brands. Get XFX as the last option. Recently they have been having some troubles with the AGP 6600GT

The best card in that range is the 6600GT without doubt ! The 6600GT is arnd 40-50% faster than the nongt so i wud go for the GT. Also you might have 2 invest in a true rated 400W psu once you get a 6600GT. The cheapest ones are the leadtek and XFX which are in the 10.5-11k region.

Hi all,

How is nvidia Geforce MX4000 Graphic card.....Does it support H T&L...

[ASH18MARCH]

hi i was going through this forum nice to see that there are such a lot of helpfull people out hereare some suggestion which will help one in making choice one needs to be clear of 2 things 1)purpose
2) budget
purpose- weither one wants for gaming or one wants for using it for video editng or cg ,3d purpose
2)budget i dont think so i need to tell u any thing regarding this
if one is taking a card for causal gaming one should go for a card like nvidia 6600 which will be coming soon any thing with 128 mb ram and ya find out about thepipe lines never go for the top most card go for one below the top most
if one is taking a card for hardcore gaming there is no better card then 6800 gt right now please dont go for ati card the drivers are not so good also this card can be used for programs like 3d studio max maya but the ati card is bad in this dept as it is known to have a lot of problems with maya
6800 gt works ok
but if you are going for use of application like maya 3d studio max please go for a proffesional card like a qudro tho its not so great with games its card drivers are specifically written for 3d application ther is a way of making a 6800 gt card into quadro you can go to www.cgtalk .com go to hard ware forum were the procidure is given but one this procidure is carried out u can say good bye to games but its worth as a qudro is quiet expensive i am not sure weither a qudro is avilable in india it should be just find out and be sure what card u buy because they loose their value fast bye

[supersaiyan]

i thought that ati have got ridden of the driver problem thing. have they?

[khandu]

I have used radeon for 2 years.. never had problems with their drivers

[blueshift]

Sure it is.

[asdf1223]

leadtek cards offer sct and pop:ww cost rs.9600-10850(tdh overclocked version).it is for pci-e.even zebronics has its own graphics cards but not tested yet.their agp 6600gt cards cost 9-10k last time i checked.

[godzi_85]

hmm at lamington every shop now also has BIG 6600 gt cards...cost from 9.5-10.5k...
and i heard its pretty good at over clocking!!!
and ya the mediatech guys are stupid man..
they tell me that the no company manufactured 6600gt cards for pci-e ..... i wtf????????? is wrong with them...
do i have to tell then that i`m a ditributor and not a end user to get them to tell me that ya a 6600 gt for pci-e is avaialble!!!
lol

[sam2211]

heyppl, i was reading a comparism between cards wen i came across this:
GeForce 6600 GT
500 MHz : core speed
4000 MTexels/s: Fill rate
128-bits : Memory bus bandwidth
GDDR3 : Memory type
500 MHz : Memory speed
16.00 GB/s : Memory bandwidth

GeForce 6800 GT
350 MHz
5600 MTexels/s
256-bits
GDDR3
500 MHz
32.00 GB/s

is the core spped of the 6600gt really more? but the 6800gt is mch better at everything else so does the core speed matter tat much?
i got the stats from www.rojakpot.com under article database, graphics card comparism v8.0

[godzi_85]

hmm doesn`t the 6600 gt have a memory clock speed of 1 ghz.. cause my 6600 gt does..

[sam2211]

hmm,that is intresting , never heard of a 6600gt with a 1000mhz core, i dont think their is any card with that core speed i think a radeon tops the list with 750mhz, any way back to my previoius question how important is the core speed, and is the 600gt,s more than that of the 6800 gt????

Sam, whr do u find "core speed 1000 Mhz"..... the memory clock was mentioned to be at 1000 MHz and thts tru 4 6800GT series coz they hv 500MHz GDDR3 RAM chips....(i.e. 500x2)....no GPU till now has reached core speed of 1000 Mhz.....

[godzi_85]

the core speed is 500 mhz. and the memory clock speed is 1000 mhz.. that`s what the nivida panel says..

[blade_runner]

@sam2211: The 6800GT is a much faster card than the 6600GT more than twice as fast !

@godzi_85: Yes all 6600Gts are clocked @ 500/1Ghz for the core and memory resp.

[akshayt]

geforce 4 shd have tnl

but don't take geforce 4,fx

also there are games that don't support geforce 4mx
atleast not 440 possibly

also a game has come/will come that won't support geforce 4 (that probably won't support geofrce 4 ti or atleast not even at minimum)

[Geforce]

I would like to point out a small detail that was missed out :

PIXEL PIPELINES

Geforce 6600 GT = 8 pixel pipelines
Geforce 6800 GT = 16 pixel pipelines

It makes huge performance difference.

But 6600GT beats Geforce 6800 non-GT
which has 12 pixel pipelines hands down
merely on the basis of higher clock speed.

[rockthegod]

yup 16 pixel pipelines does give a tremendous boost in performance but u can see it only at higher resolutions(>1024x768) with FSAA and AF enabled. At lower res. the 6600GT shows much better performance than 6800GT..but as soon the res. is increased and all effects are turned on 6800GT takes up the lead... also heard tht ATi latest GPU R520 comes with 32 Pixel pipelines and whopping 512 MB GDDR3....with 750 Mhz core clock...ummmm, dreaming to possess one of such siblings when nVidia releases a similar GPU (7800 series may be)

go 4 gainward 6600GT golden sample

[deathvirus_me]

@chirayu garg : go for an XFX GeForce 6600GT 128MB ddr3 Extreme Gamer's Edition ... higher clocks at stock i think at 550/1050... should come with 1.6ns ram ... so with good cooling u can look at speed of 600/1200 easily ..
http://www.xfxforce.com/web/product/...pa?seriesId=42
browse to find that card ... compare it with normal 6600GT's ..


the 6600GT doesn't beat the 6800nu easily ... its a tight race at high resolutions with aa,af .. and an oc'ed 6800nu can easily beat an oc'ed 6600GT ..mainly due to the additional 4 pipelines and the 256bit memory interface .....

[akshayt]

in many game 6800 is ahead of 6600gt but sometimes it looses.

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/vid...04-27gpu2.html

you want graphic card

an idea is take a card for abt 10k and save another 5k-7k and take another card for abt 10-12k after abt a yr.

but if you can afford a new card then,then consider leadtek 6600gt box oced one for nearly 12k
also,consider 256mb 6600gt asus / xfx for 14k

also,X800XL for abt 19-20k might be found lower somewhere now
also,try to find X800

[chirayu garg]

PLease tell me prices of the following:
gainward 6600GT golden sample
XFX GeForce 6600GT 128MB ddr3 Extreme Gamer's Edition
and all 6600GT & 6800GT models in market
of 128MB and 256MB.
