Default 6600 GT AGP is out
It was released on Nov.16. Go here for IGN's take on it, and here for [H]ardOCP's.

Nice benchies . The HSI bridge (PCIX to AGP) doesn't seem to have made any diff at all! Great buy for 200$! (Of coz in India it will cost a hell lot more )

This is the card I'm looking for ....now retails at 219$...will be a good buy at 125$...Anandtech says this is the card which gives most value for money right now. Ypo can get more reviews on it there.

Yup! Go here for Anandtech's review.

Pretty much the same opinion across the board...THE best ~$200 card out in the market (considering it equals and quite a lot of times beats the 9800 Pro comprehensively!). Of course, it's great on Source as well.

14-15..hmm.. That makes the choice a li'l harder

BTW 6800nu costs quite a bit more than 14-15K right? About 18 if my guess is right, or even 20.

doh
i got a ATi Radeon 9600 w/256 MB
and i run DOOM3 at 1024x768 allsettings HIGH
and i see no problem why things arent going well
just cos u wanna run all games doesnt mean u have to buy the BEST card out there
and flash - a ATi 9800 would be a better buy considering price and performance

in 9800 u can easily get a non pro or a pro and overclock it to XT levels using
RAMsinks and more airflow
enjoy

Not for 150$, it is priced 220$ and above. Anyway, forget XFX, Pine manufacturers. Go for Gainward, MSI and other reputed manufacturers. BTW, MSI is offering URU, XIII, Prince of Persia Sands of time / Splinter cell pandora tomorrow

I think a Ati Radeon 9800 Will suit you just fine... Not only is it long range card with a good life ...the point is Radeon 9800 will zip by with most of the games..and then y u need other coslty card when everything suits you...

Hey pals
Nvidia GeForce 6600GT is clocked at the same core clock speed as the PCI Express version at 500MHz but its memory clock is slower at 900MHz compared to 1GHz. There is also no SLI support either. The AGP also needs an additional power connector because the AGP bus cannot supply the amount of power needed by this 6600GT card.
chek this link for more details:
