We will be running the exact same groups of tests as we ran when comparing the 6800 Ultra's. 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.

Let's move onto the all important benchmarks now!
