I have very limited budget and currently have a BFG 6600gt 128MB card. I am considering the 8600gt because of its sub $100 price. But when I compare the two cards I dont see much difference between them other than the quantity of memory. Will I see much difference in my games? I like playing BF2, World in Conflict and probably will play Red Alert 3 when it comes out.
6600GT 8600GT
Core Clock 500 MHz 540 MHz
Pixel Pipe lines 8 ??
Memory Clock 1000 MHz 1400 MHz
Memory Size 128 MB 512 MB
Memory Interface 128-bit 128-bit
Memory Type GDDR3 GDDR3
RAMDAC 400MHz 400 MHz
Max Res 2048x1536 2560x1600
Is the additional 40MHz on core clock and additional 400 MHz on memory clock going to make much difference?
