Default Graphics Card

So i have two Graphics Cards and im not entirely sure which one is better. The ATI Radeon 2400 or the NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT. Which one would produce the most fps during gameplay? Thanks in advance.

Both are terribad.

Why not sell them for $20-30 and buy at least a 9600GT?

The 6600 GT should perform better.

Yeah, but it doesn't mean it's better.

Frankly, you shouldn't even use Vista with either 6600 or radeon 2400.

The 2400 will do DX10 about as well as the FX5200 did DX9
Stick with the 6600.

DX10 wont mean anything if your not able to play games that are DX10 compliant therefore the 6600 would be the better of the two. imo

First let me say...first post in over 2 years, working off the rust.

I'm currently using a Nvidia 6600 AGP in my Linux box (what I play GW on), and I think it would do better than the Radeon card. However you also need to factor in other parts of your system such as RAM and the CPU, all of which can have some effect of your video card performance. For me it is my single core 2.0 Ghz processor holding me back a bit (besides Linux).

It has already been stated though that both cards are now obsolete, however if upgrades are not feasible then I would go with the 6600GT.
