According to the freshly published video card review at techreport.com, the spankin' new GeForce 6600 GT, is so wicked that it will smite thee with it's white hot power.
So, here's the skinny on the card. The 6600 GT is based on the NV43 GPU, which is a slimmed down version of the NV40 GPU which powered the mighty 6800 Ultra.
The NV43 is basically the same core as the NV40 but with only half the features as it's big brother. It has 8 pixel pipelines, 3 pixel shaders, and a 128-bit memory interface. While these numbers might look quite dismal compared to the 6800 Ultra, they are in fact QUITE spectacular when you consider that this card can out-preform last years top of the line video card, the 5950 Ultra which is still retailing, at the bit out of my price range, of $568. In fact this badboy even out-preforms this years 6800 (not the Ultra, just the 6800). That's because the 6600 GT runs the GPU @ 500MHz and the memory at 1000MHz!!
Go check out the preformance stats, the screenshots and the arrousing pictures of the card, and then start drooling from the fact that it's going to retail for around $149-$199.
