Great video card for the price!

Strengths: Dual Dvi for double monitor operation, dvi-svga connector for backwards compatability

Weakness: None so far

I have only had this card for a little over a month with no complaints. I have used this card in graphic intensive environments and the screen hasn't even flickered! This card comes with lots of options to adjust your screen for optimum performance. Would highly recommend and would purchase again!

XFX GeForce 6600 GT

Strengths: Warranty, Dual DVI

Weakness: None yet

Reasonably priced dual DVI card. This card was easy to install and setup. Running two Dell LCD's in digital mode with no problems. Drivers on included on the CD were more current than those avaialable on the website.

XFX 6600GT Review

Strengths: -Plays smoothly on most games on higher settings. -No compatibility problems. -Straightforward user manual. -Great OCing compatibilities. -Easy to upgrade to a 3rd party fan.

Weakness: -Antialiasing has to be kept low.

Great card! I've had it for probably half a year now and I love it. XFX is always a premium brand in the Nvidia cards. It performs great under a cooled environment, and all of my games has been compatible so far. I get around 50FPS and I usually never have lag in any games I play. I am looking to upgrade to a 7800GT, XFX of course. Get this card if you are a low budget gamer, but you still want...

Nice graphics!

Strengths: Great for most games today. Very good card. Dual DVI is nice as well.

Weakness: Some may need to be slowed down a bit out of the box. Other than that, good card.

This card is probably one of the best 6600GT cards out there. It is overclocked and should perform as well as the 6800 series cards. All benchmarks have shown that and it is exciting to see it priced around $120 after rebates at many places.

Changing my rating from 5 to 1...

Strengths: Speed

Weakness: Overheating causing malfunction... >:(

All I can really say is that I've been playing Doom 3 the past 2 weeks and this card is amazing. BFG was rated #1 and this was #2 just behind it in the review sites. Got this instead saving $80. I don't think I'll visibly notice a few less fps. Running with MSI K8N Neo4, AMD 3500+ Newcastle, and 1gb Crucial Ballistix. Flawless card. Now I need to save up money to run 2 monitors at once. Hehehehe....

Gefore 6600 GT

Strengths: Performs very well.

Weakness: Sort of audible in my Antec Sonata II case. So far no video problems

I have used this card for about a month now. So far have not have any problems. Daily computing and some gaming works fine. I have two Dell 1905fp monitors hooked up. Works perfectly!

XFX Extreme Gamer GeForce 6600 GT

Strengths: Dual DVI output, Ability to be overclocked, afforadable, quiet, ran cool

Weakness: bundled software (games) were crap

Purchased this card for a home theater PC with some light gameing. I was afraid the card would run too hot or noisy for my system but I was pleasently surprised to find it ran cool and fan noise was pretty non-existent. I use the dual DVI to send one feed to an LCD monitor and the other to a telivision. For movie viewing the card handles fast movement and details excelently and looks beautiful on...

XFX Geforce 6600 GT Graphics Card

Strengths: Best bang for the buck, Silent, Good overclocker, Dual DVI for multi-display setup, S-Video out, Great 2D graphics as well (for DVD Playback & TV)

Weakness: Bundled games are somewhat disappointing, No Video In

This card performs better than I thought. However, I was disappointed by the games they included in the box. Due to a significant increase in temperature I had to replace the standard thermal compound with arctic silver 5 to cool it down a few degrees. Overall, I'm satisfied with this card and I give it two thumbs up.

Geforce 6600GT

Strengths: Great performance for the price. Quiet fan. Dual DVI

Weakness: Only bundled software was a couple Demos not even full versions.

Purchased this card to go with an Intel Pentium 820 D cpu and Foxconn motherboard. I needed a PCI-E. After reading several reviews I decided to try this one. This card performs very well considering the price and seems to be the top of the line of the 6600GTs. The fan on mine is very quiet and the temps stay really low.
