Which card is better GeForce 6600GT 128MB vs GeForce FX5900XT 128MB?
Both of these card cost about $180, FX 5900XT has a faster memory than
6600GT, but what about overall performance in games. My system Athlon 2800 333FSB and Dual DDR 1GB 333MHz CL2.5. Thanks for any suggestions.

The answer is pretty obvious: the FX series just don't do DX9 all that well, comparatively... "Mr. Smith" wrote in message news:7uApd.394343$wV.168653@attbi_s54...

I agree, that price sucks bricks thru a straw. Just give it until the X-mas season. I guess they're charging for the bridge chip...bleh. I predict it'll fall below the $200 mark soon enough, then I'll get one too for the Lesser God Box... This is pretty much axiomatic in the computer world (and just about everywhere else...): if you don't like the price, just wait a little while. People not only pay too much for new hardware, but they get used as beta-testers in the process. Microsoft is the biggest bad example, though their hardware works pretty well for the overpriced kit it is... Anthony snippo marx strikes again...
