Reviews Arrive For nVidia GeForce 6600GT AGP

Posted by timothy on from the if-this-is-cheap-I'll-take-the-lobster dept.

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)." pacmanfan contributes links to more reviews at Extreme Tech, Hard OCP and PC Perspective.

  1. Re:Need the bus bandwidth though by KZigurs · · Score: 5, Informative

    On the other hand on some of the benchmarks I have seen that card is being run with 4x or even 1x PCIe bus, without any serious performance degradation, so, rather logically, this isn't the issue jet.

    The lack of PCIe lanes to accomodate a lot of cards without tricks and headaches, yet is. But this is configuration issue, not bandwidth.
