Mr. Hahn Posted December 11, 2004 CID Share Posted December 11, 2004 I already posted about this exact issue. It was a comparison of the 9800Pro and the 6600GT. Look mainly at the third post I made for benchmarks.. http://www.testmy.net/forumz/viewtopic.php?p=10765 -Cheapest ($190) -Cheapest from Asus ($229) I've used Asus video cards for years now and am a fan of them, so I included their card as well. Both of the above are 6600GT's for PCI-e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted December 11, 2004 CID Share Posted December 11, 2004 PNY cards (high end) are fine, and so are ASUS. But for the bucks why doesn't NVIDEA 'get the Winners Cup'? It's used in all major Graphics Studios (Disney, Industrial Light and Magic, etc...). More 'bang for the buck' too. Y'all cornfuse me at times.... Cheers.

I agree and think the answer to your question is that even though a product is the best it may not be recognized by most people, therefore the best is what the so called majority think. I guess its the same with cars is a Ford or a Chevy better? Depends who you ask and someone will say neither and name another car, go figure:):) Microwave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hahn Posted December 11, 2004 CID Share Posted December 11, 2004 Neither, McLaren F1. Though the page says 3.2 seconds, its 0-60 has actually been clocked at 3.1. Not much, but every little bit counts when you're considering how fast it already is. They'll run you at about $1,000,000 a pop, no exaggeration. The Asus card I mentioned in that other thread is like the McLaren F1 of video cards. It's a 6800 Ultra that's overclocked out of the box. Sure, it costs a boat load a money, but the latest and greatest high-performance parts have always been that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
