Dude forget about the 5700 ya 3amme put 60 $ more and get a 6600 it's like mininimum 2 times better.
And believe me I know what I'm talking about, I have an overclocked 5700.

rolf one thing the fx6600 is from inno while 5700 is gamer edition from asus i mean does the company nme make big differnece

rolf

no matter how much they pump up the 5700 there's no chance it will get to the level of a 6600 IMHO.

I am no expert, but to my limited knowledge, inno is usually not that bad, still better than "jetway" or other never-heard-of names.

check these benches and see how much difference there is between the 6600 and the 5950:

And that is still the 5950, which is at least 30% more powerful than the 5700.
So, are you willing to pay 175$ for a 6600?

yes about that :
microfolie offered me a 6600 card for 700 $ or so while on pc and parts it's for 175 !!!! wtf ?? ? ?same specs

vegeta

It's sad to see how shops like microfolie that were not pricy at all after a certain gain of success are overpricing their products

lol how the heck is that logical...

Forgot to continue my answer :P,

as rolf said the 6600 ""GT"" is an awesome VGA make sure u get it and not the 5700 because performancewise the GT can last you a minimum of 2 to 3 years from now ...

you must be confusing the 6000 GT and the NX 6600 which is the one I\'m talking about.

mezin

yea maybe... it didn't seem logical ... and the vendor didn't seem to understand what i was talking about

a55 u noobs 6600 is history ... theres the new 6800 GS 256 MB its amazing i recomend asus but for those on a lower budget get the evga or msi ...
im hisham btw this is my first post here ,, im friends with mahdoum !! yalla tk guys contact me for any more details !!

darkstar

Yeah the 6800 gs is an awesome card but till now i cant find any shop in lebanon that has it.

hisham88

damn man u have to buy this and if ur budget is like 70 $ more u can get the ATI X850 XT it runs as smoothly as 7800 GT 256 if not better !
its a 10/10 card

darkstar

Do I hear an ATI fan here :D !

hisham88

oh you bet ... ATI is definately better than nVidia in marketing ... and prices :
i don't know if any one is interested but if want you can research how ATI attacks nvidia ... when nvidia launches a new card ATI retaliates by launching a better one in a matter of weeks ... til now ATI has the crown in single and dual GPU ... it's nvidia's turn to attack now so we are all waiting for their new G71 chipset ... i hope it's not too much better than my 1900 XTX lol :P peaceZzZ

in Lebanon ?

hisham88

i have no idea in lebanon about leb ...
but the crossfire ATI 1900 is like 500 $ cheaper than SLI nvidia 7800GTX and muuuuch betterr so it's kind of weird ..
unless nvidia has this super ultimate plan to crush ATI with some new VGA that sprays water then i'll change my mind about that :):) lol
