Which is better?

[bmrbob]

Hi, which is better out of these two video cards? And by how much?

Ati Radeon 9550 128mb
Nvidia Geforce 6600 256mb

try the 6600GT 128mb

I really need a new computer and I am on a budget ($1000) and want it soon. How is this configuration for an "average" gamer? Will it be good enough for the better games? Thanks.

how is this a bad configuration?

 

[Cappy]

as far as what you asked the 6600 is better

 

[Nubius]

the 6600 would be by far better, but the 6600GT would be even better than that

 

[Diabetic]

6600 GT for the win! If you have a little extra $$££ then go for the 6800 GT, by far the most amazing gaming card out at the moment. (i don't want to hear from any ATI fanboys )

id recommend the x800 xl over the 6800 GT cuz of price, but o well

if ur gonna get that computer, get a different power supply. that one sucks.
