ok im looking at a new video card. right now i have a fx5600 and its lame. i found two cards. a geforce FX5900 for 169 dollars a geforce 6600GT for 213 dollars Which one of these cards will give me the best price for performace ratio? I usualy play HL2 and UT2k4.

The GeForce 6600 GT often has more than double the performance of a FX 5900, so i say go for the 6600 GT, and try to get a BFG or ASUS one.

Sound GREAT! Just stay away from rotten eggs like intel and ATI. They're nasty for games...no, scratch that-nasty for just about everything.

mitch, just what exactly is it that ati and intel did to you? did they shove a handful of chips up your ass or something? i'm sorry that i'm bitching at you, but your posts are not helping anyone. i mean, nvidia and amd are both great companies, but ati and intel are both great in their own ways. you shouldn't discourage people jsut because you had a bad experience. 2.8c 800mhz fsb 1 gb 512x2 geil dual channel asus p4p800 se 60 gb ibm 7200 rpm 80 gb maxtor 7200 thermaltake va3000 sapphire 9800 pro 128mb

you're a rotten egg yourself Mitch CS Tip #1 - Don't try to shoot with a knife

Ok, so I was a little extreme with my comments. It's just that I don't want anyone else to go through what I've experienced. I'll try to be less harsh on intel and ati in the future, and I do admit that they are not all that bad at somethings, just a bit worse at gaming than amd and nvidia. I said the word everything because everything I do most of the time on my PC is gaming, which means that I've had a bad time with ati and intel. If I go into detail, you'll just call me a rotten egg again. BTW: I take back what I said about ati and intel are rotten eggs- they're just bad at what I do. Also, this is a gaming forum, so I will often times suggest amd and nvidia over the others. However, in the future I won't smack them so hard and say rediculous things.

Ok.... So you guys say the 213 dollar 6600GT has a better price/performace ratio than the FX5900 NU for 169? Thanks BUtta My Fries Abit NF7-s Athlon XP-M 2600+ @2.5ghz 200x12.5 1024mb PC3200 Geforce 6800
