Guys can u help me choose between these two AGP graphic cards: 1) x1600pro 256mb 2) 6600gt 128mb I am not somewhat hardcore gamer but wants to play modern games like bf2, nfsMW etc and upcomming gothic3 on medium-high settings on some decent resolution. THanks...
I would recommend a 6600GT. X1600 performance is quite disappointing. Although if budget permits, I would strongly suggest a 7600GT instead
Yeah, if you can spring for it, go for the new GeForce 7600 GT. It won't really be that expensive actually. Take a look at our tech report here - http://www.rojakpot.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=299
7600GT is far more expensive and my budget range is around 120(USD). I only have to select b/w 6600gt and x1600pro.
Go for the X1600Pro then, since you cannot afford 7600GT. The X1600Pro would definitely be faster than 6600GT.
Oops you are right I think Pro version is only as fast as if not slightly slower than 6600GT.... but the XT version is definitely faster.
wtf the clock speeds are different between the 128MB (500/1000) & 256MB (500/780) version of X1600Pro? http://www.digital-daily.com/video/x1600_x800_6600gt/index05.htm
Yes, the 64MB Ti4200 had faster clocks and better memory. My 128MB had 4ns memory which flaked out instantly at 500MHz. Anyway, get he Radeon X1600. If you look around Anandtech, Xbitlabs, or even Hardwaresecrets.com, you'll find that the X1600 positively rapes the 6600GT. Of course, the 7600GT is even faster than the X1600...
Does the x1600 have pixel shader 3? I know the 6600gt has.. I would choose 6600gt if the x1600 don't have it...
