With the new configuration, the GeForce 6600 DDR2 promises to match up to the challenge of the fledging Radeon X1300 series. Its technical specifications place it right in between the existing, older GeForce 6600 and the GeForce 6600 GT, a niche that is exploited now by the Radeon X1300 PRO. To see if the rejuvenated GeForce 6600 can stand up to its ATI rival, we have the XFX GeForce 6600 256MB DDR2 in our labs today, a card that has been overclocked by XFX as befitting the company's reputation for extreme graphics cards. Read on to find out if it's worth its salt...

You need to evaluate what you require in a graphics card. On the one hand, XFX's GeForce 6800 Ultra 512MB makes a compelling case as a cheap, relatively-speaking, workstation-class card, capable of running exotic displays. On the other though, and this affects the majority of potential buyers who tend to be gamers, you'd be better off opting for a single GeForce 7800 GTX or a couple of GeForce 6800 GTs in SLI formation. £470, then, will be either a snip or prohibitively expensive, depending upon your intended need.

This is the fastest graphics card ever to grace the TrustedReviews lab. The GeForce 7800 GTX is a totally awesome chipset, and the slightly overclocked XFX retail board pushed the envelope even further. If you've got a lot of money, buy one of these cards. If you've got even more money buy two - you won't regret it.

The card itself is built upon an attractive blue PCB and looks like your typical PCI-E video card. Something I noticed was how "clean" or uncluttered this card is. The 6600GT core runs at 500MHz, so no special cooling is needed. You should also be able to make out the lack of a 4 pin power connector. Pretty sweet card with a very clean and simple layout...

XFX, a division of Pine, has done an excellent job with its GeForce 6600 GT card. The company knew that it was on to a winner with the GPU; it's difficult to manufacture a bad one, really. XFX, intelligently, also knew that bigger NVIDIA partners would probably steal the limelight unless it did something special to its package. A pre-overclocked GPU speed was always unlikely, so XFX has gone with video RAM that runs at a full 20% faster than the default 1000MHz. That extra memory bandwidth, totalling 19.2GB/s off only a 128-bit bus, is the reason why XFX's effort is between 5-10% faster than the competition in the majority of our benchmarks.
