Today 3DXtreme has the great pleasure of reviewing two mainstream video cards based on the nVidia 6600GT chip. Our samples are provided by eVGA and Chaintech, two of the industry leaders among video card and hardware manufacturers. With the emergence of high end video cards from nVidia and ATI, such as the 6800 and X800 series, the mainstream has largely been forgotten. Let?s take a look at these two video cards and see how they measure up in today?s gaming applications and a little later we?ll have a look at these cards in an SLI configuration and see how well they stack up against a current high end card.
