SUMMARY: Today we compare three of the latest nVidia based AGP and PCI Express graphics cards from Gigabyte. We look at the GeForce 6200 for the low-end market, the impressive value for money GeForce 6600GT with SLI support along with the high-end 6800GT AGP which offers great performance but not at the price of the very high-end models. Read on and work out which graphics card is best for your needs as we run them through our usual array of gaming benchmarks!
It is no doubt that the graphics chip war between nVidia and ATI has never been bigger than it is now. Unit recently one company has had the ultimate edge on the other. ATI had so much more going for it when nVidia released the GeForce FX graphics chip, as nVidia had its GeForce 4 towering over the 8000 series Radeon graphics chip.
Now the gaps are closing in, and its now not matter of who to choose, but what to choose. Companies in the past would have been burnt at the stakes for offering graphics cards from both companies, now it’s a common occurrence.
Gigabyte, one of ATI’s biggest partners follows the two street path with both ATI and nVidia cards and today we are looking at three of them.
With us in our labs we have their 6800GT AGP, 6600GT PCI Express and the 6200 PCI Express. Today isn’t so much of a test against the other cards on the market, but to showcase just what has been done by one of ATI’s biggest partners on the nVidia front and what card is best for your needs.
