The numbers are somewhat misleading. If you Google for benchmarks, a 6600GT
will often do better than a 9800 Pro, even though the 9800 Pro offers a
higher theoretical fill rate.

The 6800 is clearly superior. The 6800 GT is better yet, as it has the full
16 pipelines (vs. 12 for the non-GT) and higher clocks.

On the other hand, a 9800 Pro is a good card. Depending on the system behind
it, you may wish to wait for a more major upgrade, including a PCI-Express
mainboard.


Address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.

I've heard good things about the 6600GT,
But why replace the ATI 9800 PRO?
My ATI 9600 PRO works fine for me.

Simple... the 6800... even if you're not a graphics buff ;-)

The 6600 would be a step down from the ATI 9800Pro.

The 6800 is a small step up.

Because the 9800 Pro doesn't run FEAR?

But meant:

(AGP or PCI-e - whatever want) There is no "9AGP".

A typo.
