Nvidia GeForce 6600 512MB

Yes, you heard it right. The lower end VGA card gets a bump in RAM.

They will launch two GeForce 6600 models with 512 MB of DDR2 memory this month (December). The 6600-512 and 6600LE-512 differ only in clock settings: 350 MHz and 325 MHz respectively. Both have 128 bit interface and VGA, DVI and TV-out. The GeForce 6600 has 8 pixel pipelines and three vertex shaders engines.

Sweet...good news for those who can't dump $200 on a new card.

Well, Must low-end Vids dont have evough power to fully use 512mb.

TRDCorolla you STILL haven't gotten back to me about your old 6600

nVIDIA is just looking for an excuse to make more money. The 6600's won't fully utilize the 512mb, heck, even the 256mb ones are somewhat of a waste. 512mb DDR2 with a 128-bit memory interface...hahah, wow, what do they think they're gonna get out of that?

Big memory, small performance. But it might just run Doom 3 on Ultra High settings (needs 512MB memory I think).

 

[JustinMcG67]

Hmmm I still think this 512mb version will beat the snot out of the 256mb version

Yeah,that's pretty dumb. I wouldn't ever get a 512mb card like that... it's all about the 512mb 7800gtx or the 512mb x1800xt or xl, I forget... lol...

Well I would like dual 6600GTs with 512 in my PC, that's for sure.
