8500gt vs en6600gt silencer

[SMOKEN]

My question is which card is better overall. I have both cards here with me and I'm thinking of putting the best one in my sisters PC. The asus en6600gt is llike the regular 6600gt but a bit overclocked.
I found this link if it helps you graphic pro's http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=187&card2=514

Here are the exact specs of the two cards according to aida64, hope they help.

What are you planning on doing with the card?

The 8500gt is a slightly better card, and it has a newer architecture (Unified shaders + DirectX 10)

I'm gona take a "wild guess" and say it has something to do with Diablo 3....

The card is going to be used more for movies, and some older games like guitar hero legends of rock. I was confused between the two because the 6600 has higher clock speeds and because of the difference between the bandwith speeds and MTexels/s and MPixels/s.

They are both Crap (sorry). Even a GT 520 would be better.

Well i know they are not all that, but they're for my sister's PC. I was just thinking "hey i have a 6600gt it might be faster than her current card" but after all of this searching I was stumped. So i decided to ask the best community I have a 9500gt on my own machine of course

Clock speed doesn't mean ANYTHING between different generations of cards. Use the 8500, it has unified shaders, DX10, newer architecture.

Oh I see. Well thanks to you all for the replies and advice. I think this question can be marked as solved.
