6600gt v x700
having seen the difference that SLI makes on most games (pretty much none without AA which is something the 6600gt is bad at)
i have decided to not bother with SLI
so now i need to either get the 6600gt or search for a card that will out do it
im looking to play games mostly hl2 and its source conversions, but also doom3 stalker (mabye) and i have yet to play farcry
can someone give me just a run down of which card is better and some of the variants that could save me money out of 6600gt and x700pro/xt
thanks alot

any ideas on this?
seeing as 13 people have viewed you guys are either lazy or honestly dont have any views on it

I think the 6600GT is the better card. But don't quote me on that.

I assume this is PCI-Express?
If it is, then I would probably say the 6600GT is the better card against the X700 - the 6600GT has things like Shader Model 3, and is pretty close to the X700 in most benchmarks, although you can't really go wrong with either.
For £200 (£175 from LOW) you could for a vanilla 6800, which should provide a reasonable boost from a 6600GT - not huge, but then again not a huge price increase.

the 6600Gt is the better of the 2.
there ae a few knocking about for the sub £130 ex delivery.
most perform similar.

right
after pouring over those reviews i have one last question(i think), does the XFX require pci e connectors from the power supply? as the review says it runs the fan of the card itself im guessing thats a no, but just checking
more importantly.......
will SLI XFX 6600gts ever require pci e connectors?
i am looking at a Enermax noise taker 370w psu as my power source, for a nforce 4 SLI deluxe and 3000+ A64
thanks very much
