Asus N6600GT AGP
16. Conclusion
The Asus N6600GT excelled in performance against the MSI NX6600GT. Its clocks are set higher than any other AGP oriented 6600GTs we've seen so far, delivering by far the highest stock-clocked performance.
The price of the Asus N6600GT AGP is approximately US$230. The 6600GT chipset on its own is an excellent buy and has been considered by world-wide gamers as the perfect upgrade for mid-range computers. More so, with the guaranteed higher performance from Asus, the N6600GT stands out from the 6600GT crowd. However, note that this TOP performance doesn't come for free. As always, the Asus implementation is a little pricier than those from other vendors.
Overclocking is not as effective as with other 6600GT since the N6600GT has already been overclocked by Asus. The great memory components permit an increase in memory clock but unfortunately the GPU clock is not as accommodating.
Bundled along with the card, you'll find the full CD versions of Joint Operations : Typhoon rising and Xpand Rally. The first game is an online FPS you'll either love or hate due to its difficulty, while Xpand Rally is just a simple arcade/simulator rally hybrid. If you're a fan of either of these genres, the card's bundle will satisfy but probably won't excite you.
Pros:
- Already overclocked by Asus
- Great price/performance ratio
Cons:
- A little pricier than other 6600GT solutions
