6600 or X850XT

[pnoyboldstar]

these are the two vid cards i am debating against. which would you guys go with and why?

Geforce 6600

Radeon X850XT

 

[Running]

x850xt, beats the 6600 very badly

i have the X850 and it is a great video card, and that OEM price for it is really really good, considiring they are still 200+ on newegg

 

[Avalanch3]

6600 = $119 (XFX)
6600GT = $139 (eVGA)

Go with the GT

i couldnt find any benchmarks but therotically the X850XT suppost to be much better then 6600/6600GT as it have 16 pixel pipelines and the 6600/6600GT have 8 pipelines

Woah ...

First thing, neither of these cards are good buys. The 6600GT was replaced by the 6800XT and now replaced by the 7600GT. The X850XT was replaced by the X1800XT and now the X1900XT(X). Next, the 6600 series is mid-ranged, while the X850 series is higher end. Nevertheless, they're both outdated and pointless to buy.

If your looking to buy a video card around $200 here are your best bets:

7600GT (Nvidia)
X1800GTO (ATI)

The X1800GTO should be faster than the 7600GT but costs an extra $25 or so.

Both of them are horribly outdated, like the guy above said. 6600 was mid-range in its time and X850 was high end in its time. Now the 6600 is low end and the X850 is mid range. Nobody in this day and age should even consider the X800 series, and the 6600 cards are only good for the casual gamer.

um...he prolly has a budget...no one thort about that did they...to me when he is lookn at cards around the $119 mark..im guessing he doesnt wanna spend to much $$$....so thats why i sudgested the 6600GT....not everyone has money to blow on $300 graphic cards you know....and the 6600GT...there is nothing wrong with this card...its still a great card

This is the truth.
