Chris Lyon82,

How does that SLI 6600GT set up perform? How does that compare to lets say 1 6800GT or Ultra? I figure you have double the ram from two cards, but is it really any faster?

chris_lyon82 · Sep 02, 2005, 10:44 PM // 22:44

I looked into it before i bought them, either get 1 6800gt or 2 6600gt's an save some money. At the time I decided on 2 6600's as I heard they would of been better, but since then Ive seen proof that the 6800gt performs ever so slightly better, plus you can always upgrade by buying another.

If I was to do buy em again id save up that bit more an buy the 6800gt, but for value for money there probably the same.

chris_lyon82 · Sep 02, 2005, 10:49 PM // 22:49

Oh yeah, the 6600gt only has 128mb ram while the 6800gt has 256mb and Ive never ran them not in Sli mode so I couldnt tell you if there is a big difference (all though now Im tempted to find out)

Ohh...okay! I didn't think that the 6600GT would only have 128megs. So by sharing two of them you get a total of 256megs. And that is cheaper then one 6800GT? Or cheaper then one 6800 ultra?

I had something simlular years ago with a Voodoo 2 12meg 3D card. You could put two of them in a box and connect them. I bought one thinking I'll get another one later. (They were $150.00 each) Never did, by that time 32meg video cards were hitting the scene. So I bought a new Dim 4100 and got the Geforce 2 Pro 32meg card. AGP slots were new then too. My old Voodoo 2 was a simple PCI slot card.

chris_lyon82 · Sep 02, 2005, 11:15 PM // 23:15

I have this set up now for about 3 months and at the time it was cheaper to get 2 6600 gts than one 6800gt. The ultras are dearer than the Gt's. Just checked the website that I bought them of and there now not selling the asus 6600gt or asus 6800gt, looks like technologys moved on already with the 7 series.

hehe.. i remember when i got give a voodoo 2, i thought it was the best thing ever at the time

AMD A64 3000+
768MB of RAM
ATI r9600xt

I'd like to upgrade the video a bit but ATI doesn't have anything out for agp in the medium price range and I can't force myself to buy an NVidia card.

Albino Chocobo · Sep 04, 2005, 06:13 PM // 18:13

AMD Athlon 3000+ (can't remember the thing's actual frequency)
1 Go PC3200 DDR
240 Go RAID1 SATA HD(s)
GeForce 6600 (plain), 128 Mo (bought it cheap 3 months ago)

Nothing fancy, pretty much a low end setup by now, but at least it's silent. GW runs smooth at 50 fps, 1280x960x32 with anti-aliasing. What more do I need

well....

AMD64 3200+ (Venice) w/ XP-90

Saitek Eclipse Keyboard, Razer DB Plasma LE, fUnc sUrface
X-Dreamer II case, Hauppauge Win TV Go, 21" IBM P260

And um... think thats about it. Usually run the venice ~2.2 or 2.4ghz depending on how hot ambient is. I havnt found a game running the 6800gt faster makes a difference in yet so i just leave [email protected] usually. I run on 1280x1024 on desktop for easy alt/tabbing to irc/aim usually; and never notice an fps drop with settings jacked. I cant complain; but getting new case and ram some point this semester

While I do plan on updating the graphics card and adding another gig of memory in the near future, this box runs any game that I have desired to play. There may be better components out there, but looking at the performance vs price, I couldn't be happier.
