A polsih site has reviewed the sapphire x800GT 256MB in d3/farcry and HL2, the card beats the 6600GT in almost all the tests. In the conclusion there is an info that the cards on the polish market will cost the same.

Well great. The site compares a card with 256 MB memory to a card that only has 128 MB. That does say nothing at all. Memory is a very important factor.

:hmm:


and why wins the ATI card 90% of the tests???

Chip Ilość pamięci Szyna pamięci Taktowanie GPU Taktowanie pamięci Ilość potoków pikseli Pixel i Vertex Shader
GeForce 6600GT NV40 128MB 128bit 500MHz 1000MHz 8 3.0
ATi X800GT R480 256MB 256bit 475MHz 880MHz 8 2.1/2.0

because its the card with more memory

and its therefor no real test ...
the 128MB versions of the card are priced pretty much the same while the 256MB edition is a bit more expensive on nV side

but comparing a 180€ card to a 140€ card ?!

also when you look after the availability you will soon realise that you can buy a 6600 almost everywhere while the the X800GT is barely available

ooops...
my fault...... :knife:
the ATI got more memory....and that's why it wins....maybe....

but like mertsch said....u can buy the 6600 on every corner...
but, if u can get the ATI.....why not...seems to be a nice Card!

The Ati card in this review also seems to have a 256bit memory bus.. and the 6600gt only 128bit.

That will make a big difference.
