Hi,
I would like peoples advice/experience on this one please.
I was going to buy this card from ebuyer.co.uk - XFX GeForce 6600GT AGP
128MB, TV and Dual DVI Retail Box for £150.16 inc VAT, Quickfind code:
81923.
But then I have seen this card - Gainward GF 6600 PP Ultra 1780 Golden
Sample, 256MB DDR 8x AGP DVI TV Out Retail for £111.57 inc VAT from
microdirect.
Now I know that Gainward have probably got the best rep and that their
golden sample products are usually of high quality, but this seems too good
to be the real deal. What does the PP & 1780 refer too?
What to do?
Cheers,
Big

the gainward is a plain 6600, not the gt. the XFX will be a much faster card

The XFX is a 6600 GT, while the Gainward is only a 6600. However, the
Golden Sample version should allow you to safely overclock to much higher
core speeds.

So how come it has ultra in the spec?? Should that be allowed, sites
advertising and adding that in?
Anyway, not too worried about overclocking so will want the fastest 'stock'
card, which appears to be the XFX.
I have read good and bad comments about XFX, so I might still take the
chance.
as for ebuyer, I have used them many times and they always come up trumps as
far as i'm concerned.
Thanks for the feedback peeps.

The Gigabyte 6600GT VIVO from dabs has a heatpipe silent heatsink as
standard.

Nice.

Well, which is it? Shite or fantastic? Or maybe the new connotation of
fantastic is bad? Wait a minute, bad is now good. Oh to hell with it!

Yes, but that's what keeps them cheap. I've ordered over 100 items with them
and had to send 3 things back.. excellent service everytime.

Just my experience
