Ive been on these forums several times about video cards but many things have happend with me and PCs since, so I am coming back for more advice.

I currently have a Geforce 4 MX and a copy of Brothers in Arms sitting on my desktop - So I am an unhappy bunny not being able to play!!

I need to get a vid card.... Now this is a striaght-forward question:

Is the 128MB NVidia GeForce 6600 AGP 8x DDR 128-Bit DVI TV Out
better than the ATI Radeon 9600 XT 128/256mb?

Yes, the 6600GT is as double so fast like the 9600 XT.

No not the GT, just the plain 6600, is it better than the ATI Radeon 9600 XT?

And, I know it sounds like an exam, but Can you give reasons for your answers?

6600 also better then 9600Xt.

But pay 50 € (or $ or what the hell - er gamershell) more to get much more perf.
see benchs for some benchmarks. X600 is 9600 XT!

yes the 6600 is better than the 9600XT
the xt though is a good card, but isn't great.

If you go the cheap way and buy a 6600 instead of a 6600gt, you will regret it in a month or two.
But it is faster, yes.

I'm gonna go for the 6600 GT which is £127 (About $254)

So do you think this one is a good deal....
