6600GT - what brand

[GlimmerMan]

I am looking to buy a new 6600GT but dont know what brand to get. I
looked at ASUS but they dont have a 6600GT 256mb (dont know why). I'v
looked around and seen some pretty crappy video cards *claiming* to be
a 6600GT but i doubt it is good. Got any ideas. The price does notr
matter.

I remember this article the last time I went to tomshardware. They
actually test several 6600s here. The test is dated april 4 I think so
its recent. I dont remember if the cards here have 128 or 256 or if
the cards tested are easily available. The winner is a Gigabyte card.
In the past when I used to buy Nvidia cards I didnt notice a lot of
difference in the makes though some people would always claim this or
that had better memory so it overclocked better. I think with some
posts Ive seen claiming bad caps on video cards too though its
ridiculous if any company is still using them , Id get a brand with
decent RMA service and a decent warranty.

Hello,

As far as I'm aware none of the 6600GT cards have 256MB - at least that was
the situation when I bought my Leadtek 6600GT.

well im afrain your wrong there. al lot of 6600GT's have 256mb but
they are all lower, cheaper, unknown, dodgey brands that i would dare
touch. I am an ASUS man and want all my stuff from asus but they nly
supply a 128mb video card wtf is with his sh!t.
