Albatron Trinity 6600GT PCI Express @ Viper Lair

“For a mid range card with 128mb, I was expecting Doom 3 and Far Cry to require an 800x600 resolution for acceptable frame rates, but this wasn’t the case; all the games tested ran at 1024x768 with some FSAA and AF without issue, and in some cases a few even broke into playable at 1280x1024 (albeit without FSAA or AF). “

Gigabyte X700 PCI-E video card @ Rbmods

“Earlier we looked at a Geforce 6600GT from Gigabyte and today we have another card from them but with a ATI chipset included this time. We have their X700 card with silenpipes on our testbench. We will test this against the 6600GT and see how they perform in games and if we are able to get some overclocking speeds out of it. So if you are in the market for a PCI-E card this is the review for you.”
