Hi all, I need to know if this graphics card is any good, the Sparkle GeForce 6600 AGP  256mb isn't listed in the "Toms hardware" list. Does any one have this card? is it any good? and what sort of price should I pay for it? (in

I've had issues with sparkle cards in the past.....  ::)

If you want a 6600GT, then , pretty much any of these cards listed here will suit.

Leadtek WinFast GeForce 6600 GT 128MB DDR3  would be my choice.  ;)

The GT has much faster memory so any benefits of 256MB memory on the normal model are nothing compared to the benefits of having 128MB of very fast memory.

They whack 256mb of cheap and crusty memory on pathetic cards to try and trick people into buying junk when they think they are getting the real deal, it's a con.

I guess it's working because I see so much of it unfortunately.

Sparkle make a 6600GT, it's a 128mb card. Look at that.

If any card is not VERY expensive and has 256mb of memory, it's an imposter. A simple matter of economics.
There are only a very few cards (only one I can name) that have a 6600GT GPU and 256mb of memory. They don't make them because they would compete with the premium 6800 class in performance at a reduced price, and we can't have that can we?

Hi thanks for all the replies. Does any one have the 6600GT 128Mb card and what sort of perfomance does it give? I currently have an Nvidia FX5600 256Mb card.

The performence delta would be enormous.

Expect to see higher fps at higher resolutons and details.
