6600GT or fx5900?

[oldmanatdevry]

I currently have an Asus fx5900 and I'm starting to see it's performance degrade with the newer games (dud). I've been considering buying an MSI 6600GT, but there have been a lot of conflicting benchmark results. Has anyone else made the jump from the fx5900 to the 6600GT? I at once considered the 6800, but the price is a bit steep for what I can afford for now.

There are no conflicting results. The 6600GT is better in every single respect than the FX5900.

Yes, I'm currently in my second term at DeVry. I'm in the NCM program. I've considered getting one in CIS as well, but it's been a long time since I've done any type of programming (COBOL and Pascal).

Why end the thread, Ned? If you haven't made the jump personally and have an opinion of whether it was worth it or not, this thread isn't for you anyway.
