I'm putting together a new AMD system, and haven't yet decided on the video card. Primarily the system will be for photoshop, video editing, web surfing, and gaming. The Monarch combo comes with Half Life 2, so that's what I'll be playing first.
Anyway, I've been leaning toward the eVGA 6800GT at about $300, but the 6600GT is available for about $130 after rebate. And of course, nVidia has just come out with a new line of cards, but I'm not really willing to pay more than $300 for a card.
So, how much difference is there between the 6600GT and 6800GT in terms of Half Life 2? I wouldn't mind saving the $170 if there isn't a really noticable difference.
Thanks, Rich
