SUMMARY: Recently we checked out the performance of two GeForce 6800 Ultra's in SLI and were very impressed with our findings. However, not everyone has well over a grand to spend on a graphics card setup. nVidia haven't forgotten about you as end-users still have the ability to "SLI" the cheaper GeForce 6600GT and that's exactly what we have served you up with in our latest look at nVidia SLI technology.
Processor(s): AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Motherboard(s): ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe (Supplied by ASUS) Memory: 2 X 512MB OCZ PC3200 (2-2-2-5) (Supplied by OCZ Technology) Hard Disk(s): Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000 RPM SATA (Supplied by Western Digital) Operating System: Windows XP Professional SP1 Drivers: nVidia Forceware 71.40 and DX9c
We will be running the exact same groups of tests as we ran when comparing the 6800 Ultras. Using the ASUS A8N-SLI and 3800+ we will see just what we can do with the 6600s here.
The two particular cards we are going to be looking at today are the ASUS 6600GT Extreme models which you can see below. We have had a look at the 6600GT performance when we were looking at the X850XT and X800XL from GeCube but today we want to simply know how one compares against two.
