6600GT question please...

I'm looking at upgrading from my Radeon 9600XT 128Mb card to a Nvidia 6600GT
128Mb (either a Leadtek or Sparkle brand)

Would someone be able to give me a rough idea as to HOW much quicker a
6600GT is over a 9600XT.

Just wondering whether it will be worth the $$$ or not!

Cheers in advance.

Mike.

well it depends on the processor and ram.
but it should be an improvement over the 9600

I am running a XP2200+ (266MHz) & a Gig of DDR333 RAM.

Considering the 128Mb verison of either card.

Thanks for the help BTW.

You can expect twice the speed on the latest games. "Doom 3" flies
three times faster.

I did that excact upgrade, from a Powercolour 9600XT ultra to a Leadtek
A6600TDH GT - Its a great upgrade especially on newer games like the
above poster said.
