Reviews Arrive For nVidia GeForce 6600GT AGP
bhtooefr writes "The Tech Report got their hands on a reference board of the nV 6600GT AGP, and did some benchmarks. Interestingly, even with a slower memory clock on the AGP card, it was FASTER in some benchmarks than the PCI-E card. Tests performed were: Doom 3, CS:Source, Far Cry, 3DMark05, Rome: Total War, and Xpand Rally (the last two tested with FRAPS)."

Yeah, I bet that's exactly what ID and Valve are thinking right now. And Blizzard. And SOE (allright, I also wish they were dead).
---- Take the Space Quiz!
They got "Rome: Total War" to run? Wow!
am I the only geek who does NOT play video/computergames?
yes.
what other metrics can be applied to video cards?
length. weight.
They're still trying to figure out how to break their review up into as many pages as possible to increase their ad impressions. Give them time.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
6 frames per second in The Sims 2, at least while you're moving the camera. Otherwise 160 FPS, when the camera is set. :)
It's $245, which is kinda steep for that card and it's supposed pricepoint, it'll probably come down tho. But if you're going to spend $245, might as well spend $280, and get a 6800. (search for 6800 on newegg) And if you do that, what's another hundred twenty? Then you can go with a 6800 GT... Oh but then the ultra is only another hundred! :)

It's a mean trick nvidia plays.
