Which 6600GT VIDEO CARD To Choose?

[smokeybanana]

I am buying a new video card, can anyone tell me which and WHY?

XFX GeForce 6600 GT 128MB DDR3 PCI-Express SLI Ready w/ Dual DVI, TV-Out

OR

BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC 128MB GDDR3 PCI-E w/ HDTV-Out, Dual DVI

Go with the BFG, It's slightly overclocked but otherwise should be exactly the same.

MSI:

Copper heatsink that actually covers ram
SILENT fan
VIVO
Good software bundle

If price is an issue, XFX. (I have one, it works great.)

If price is no issue, get the BFG.

XFX's support sucks.

If you're concerned about quietness, Leadtek is known to have the most quiet 6600GT.
If you want lots of accessories (included games, software) go for the MSI.

-TPG

did you see anantech's review of the cards? that will help alot.

the msi seems to have probs with the heatsind, and the the reviewers even broke it.

xfx sucks.

my favorite companies are bfg, leadtek, and evga.

when i got my evga 6600gt, i got it for 138AR at monarch seems like the price went up now though:frown:

Get the leadtek then cool, quiet, AND accessories

Read the review of the Leadtek at Anandtech. It is one of, if not the best, 6600GT card out there.

don't make two threads about the same question you cock

 

[ssvegeta1010]

Leadtek is best.

It goes Leadtek > BFG > XFX. (Excluding other companies and cards other than the 6600GT)

 

[Inspector Jihad]

and the leadtek agp is 151 after a 20 dollar rebate on new egg. pick it up

edit: never mind, you're goin pci-e. but im sure there'll be other deals on it

 

[Rike]

evga 6600GT for $175 with a $35 rebate and free shipping.

The egva is good company with good service.

I purchased a Chaintech 6600GT AGP version since it was on sale at newegg.com and it was easily overclockable to 560 core / 1120 memory.
