Gforce 6600GT laborday sale!!!

[rOuLdpH]

newegg is selling that card for $154.00 and im thinking yeah! but my question is am i gonna have to buy another power supply to use it?

 

[coomar]

is that agp? cause the pci-e versions have been cheaper than that

if your getting agp, look for a 6800 vanilla, you have a chance of unlocking and at stock its neck and neck with the 6600gt

 

[rOuLdpH]

its pci, im realy looking for the best video card i can buy without spending $200 on it and a power suply. any seggestions?

my power supply is 300w but i think il'll need more if i get any of the 66 or 6800 and a 450w supply is only like 30 bucks or so.

X800 Pro from ATI. Check the Hot Deals forum. That'll eat a 6600GT for lunch. Not a 6800GT, but a 6600GT, yes

 

[rOuLdpH]

i hear good things about the 6600GT so ill just go with that and a thermaltake powersupply for 40 bucks. gerand total $190.00 + shipping

 

[rOuLdpH]

ill check that out, thanks

And I would skip that PS and get the rosewill value 450W PS or even the 400W. A little more or a little cheaper, but more or the same power with more connectors you're going to need (SATA, 24 Pin ATX) and a fan you can control. With those cheap Thermaltakes it seems hit or miss whether or not it is quiet.

You can get a x800 for under $200 now, and it will eat a 6600gt for luch too. Unless you absolutely must have SM3, in that case just get a 6600gt - I'm still surprised they're selling for $150 when you can get more powerful cards for that price. A 6800 is also a better choice than a 6600gt, because even though the pcie versions dont unlock, you can OC it and it will be significantly faster than a 6600gt.

 

[blckgrffn]

That power color X800 dips under $150 for days at a time and should be a very nice card and about 20-30% faster than the 6600GT across the board until both are crippled by there 128 megs of local ram.

 

[rOuLdpH]

i just looked at the X800 at neww egg and there $280-$400 but it only shows the 256mb

W/ rebate=$154 shipped. Would kill a 6600 GT (except in doom 3)

$148 shipped, can find it cheaper though. Thats either on par or at times alot better than a 6600 GT (except in doom 3)

 

[blckgrffn]

I really hoping that he is actually looking for a PCIe card, or he is going to be really disapointed with the selection

 

[rOuLdpH]

yea im pretty sure its pci express ill look at it again. lol i've got an eMachines t3092

You have an AGP slot, so just by the AGP version, although $139 really isnt a great deal since they can be found for that price w/o a rebate.

 

[coomar]

if you don't mind buying used, you can get a great deal on a used 6800 agp/ x800 pro and unlock pipes

 

[rOuLdpH]

i dont see an X800 AGP, and is it AGP 4x/8x or 2x/4x?

Zipzoomfly has the MSI 800X for 119 after rebate and the visiontek x800 for 129-134 after rebate shipped. Both are 128mb cards and are PCIe

These are the best deals on vanilla X800 cards right now. I have an ATI OEM card which is essentially identical to the Visiontek model. Overclocked it to 425/425 and it gets about 4200 in 3Dmark05.

the zipzoomfly deal seems good for you....you can even use the saved money to get a Antec Truepower 450W for about $70.
