PNY Verto GeForce 6 6600 GT AGP 8X > Reviews (6)

I bought this card for around £120 after my ATi Radeon cooked itsefl, i was expecting this card to do the same as my ATi as it was the nVidia equivalent, but boy did it surprise me!! I pluged it into my mobo (a.k.a. motherboard - for you non-sad people out there!), installed the drivers, and it worked like a dream, no problems whatsoever, all i have had to do is update the drivers.

As well as being a breeze to install and set up, it is also very durable (unusual area to comment on about a graphics card!), but when my PSU (power supply) went wrong, and surged power into my system, the graphics card survived, and the CPU, mobo and RAM didnt!

Also, this card comes packed with extra features, like:
-Superscalar GPU architecture
-NVIDIA® UltraShadow™ II Technology
-NVIDIA® Intellisample™ 3.0 Technology
-NVIDIA® Digital Vibrance Control™ 3.0 Technology
AND it is fully compatable with DirectX 9 (apparently uncommon with cards of this price range!). It also has high speed DDR3 memory, which makes a hell of a difference.

Moving back to comparing it with the ATi equivalent, it out performs it hugely, it costs about £10-20 more, but comes packed with a lot more features!

As proof that it is better, Call of Duty 2, looks almost photo quality on some textures, and the ATi one wouldn't put out that much performance in a million years! The 6600GT doesn't even get very hot....i have never had any problems with it overheating!

Anyone looking for a good graphics card, that will play ANY new game, but for a sensible price, stop looking...you have found your perfect match!
