Galaxy GeForce 6600 256 MB PCI Express

The GeForce 6600 that we’ll be looking at today is quite the attractive lot. Featuring hardware DirectX 9 support and Shader Model 3.0, the 6600 has replaced the PCX5750 in pricing and some in performance. Read on as we examine the Galaxy GeForce 6600 256MB.

…The Galaxy GeForce 6600 is a great card for those on a tight budget, but still looking for a good PC gaming experience. It handles all of todays games very well without sacrificing image quality or features. My only gripe is with the card’s simple cooling solution which will hinder any worthwhile overclocking gains. It seems like RAM-sinks would be of great benefit to realize this potential.

What stands out most about Galaxy’s solution though is their choice of 3.3 ns Hynix chips and a 256 MB framebuffer. These two characteristics seperate it from some of the other 6600 choices out there. In the end, as long as SLI is not your peak concern, I feel that this card offers a nice bang for your buck.
