6600 and 6600 GT (Read 157 times)

How big of a difference is there between these two cards?

Just wanted to know because at some point I want to get a new graphics card (still running on integrated graphics, but good ones nonetheless), and the 6600 is about $120, but sales drop it to $100, while the GT is $250.  Im talking about nVidia, incase you were wondering.

Your getting ripped off. A 6600 gt for $250? You could buy a 6800 GT for that.

Check newegg.com. Most 6600 gt's there are around 140 bucks.

And get the GT. The difference is pretty big. The 6600 gt has more memory bandwidth and has better faster memory. It's GPU is also clocked faster.

Good to know. I've been running a 6600GT for a while, and I always wondered what the GT meant. It's a good card, and I'm quite happy with it.
