6600GT. Almost always outperforms the 9800Pro. Personally, don't understand how they can charge so much for the 9800Pro


The loving are the daring!

Priced the same, the GF6600GT for sure.

6600GT - <b>Leading the way</b> in that market section!

OK it's your choice:
You can have the boat, or you can have the Mystery Box!

Well, the price difference is becoming less and less. Now that the 6600GT AGP is $200 online, and a real 256-bit 9800 pro is at best $10-15 cheaper, then the 6600GT is a better deal. But the 9800 pro had been $20 lower (my retail BBA was $170) and the 6600GT AGP started out $230+. So, it does seem that the 9800 pro has almost completely lost it's great bang-for-buck status.

Both are very good cards but I'd go with the 6600GT if the prices are close.
