6600 costs 142 bucks, while x600xt costs 162 bucks . intriguing. wasnt the gt going to be introduced at the 199 pricepoint.
discuss.

Update . my bad. not the GT.

well when your looking at pricewatch prices your looking at the most generic 6600s and x700s on the market. Weather you want a generic 3rd party brand of the card or pay extra for a name brand is up to you.

Since when are Leadtek and XFX considered generic?

XFX

jvd · 05-Oct-2004, 04:36

you have any first hand experiance with the products ( never heard of them , looked through the site )

BRiT · 05-Oct-2004, 04:36

Still don't have a clue who XFX is. Might as well be TwoGuysInAGarageInTaiwan.

BRiT · 05-Oct-2004, 04:41

Just noticed that XFX doesn't even have any NV4x based cards for sale off their own website. Nothing but NV3x generation, and at a steal of a price for a FX 5950, a mere $479! http://www.shipitforyou.com/xfx/

There was only one X700 listed if you wonder why i didn't add a price for the XT.

allnighter · 05-Oct-2004, 08:12

Quite a few vanilla 6600's around for a week or so on pricewatch already, but here's a few 6600gt's in stock for around 200+ bucks:

See some advertised for pre-order on overclockers.co.uk:

Leadtek WinFast PX6600GT-TDH is priced £130 (£153 inc VAT)
Leadtek WinFast PX6600TD is price £90 (£106 inc VAT)

Equivalent to $232 ($273 with VAT) for the GT and $160 ($189 with VAT).

Not as massively overpriced compared to the US as usual!

Guess you don't spend too much time on other forums. I've been hearing good things about them for a while now. I don't have first hand experience with Albatron, Gainward, Leadtek, Sapphire, Asus, Chaintech or BFG either (only PNY, MSI and eVGA) but that doesn't mean they aren't good brands.

Sxotty · 05-Oct-2004, 14:31

XFX was for sale at best buy as well. The do have nv4x cards on the internety as well.

i spend a ton of time on other forums , i just haven't looked for awhile. I've been very happy with buying directly from ati , thier rma policy is great . I've also not been in the market for a geforce product since my ledtech 5800ultra .

I'm sure lots of 5800Ultra buyers haven't been in the market for a geforce product since then
