geforce fx 5200 vs. nvidia geforce 6600 gt Hi, currently I'm owning a geforce fx 5200 128 MB. but now I want to upgrade to a nvidia geforce 6600 GT 128 MB. The price is approximately 215 Euro. My question: can you advise me to buy this 6600 gt? So will i see a lot of difference in games? system: intel p4 2.6 Ghz and 512 mb ram. I've also seen another version of this card: the nvidia geforce 6600 DV ? what's up with that cause I don't trust the DV :s greetz |
yes! you will have a nice boost from the upgrade, the 6600gt is an mid range gfx and your current fx5200 is actually a "desktop" card, sot suited for games! got a link from that DV? |
Nope, lost the link sorry. but can you give me an example in fps for let's say doom III or half-life 2. I can give you the fps for my doom 3 settings: 800*600 medium quality I get about 33 fps with my fx 5200. Can you say approximately how much fps I will get with that 6600 GT? I'm just curious how much the boost will be with this upgrade. thx, greetz |
yes I can :) |
over 100% you'll be playing it at 1024*768 hi quality |
Thx for your reactions. but maybe still one problem. My power supply is only 300 watt. will this be any problem with this new 6600 GT? I have connected a dvd writer, dvd-rom, floppy, and geforce fx 5200 now. So the only change will be the 6600 GT. but will this be enough? If I have to buy a new power supply, is there a difference between supplies for ide or sata? just in case.... ;) Is there maybe a program wich tells you how much your power supply is? don't think sisoft sandra 2005 has this feature... and i have read something about a mole x connector that is needed because agp doesn't have enough juice for this card. is the mole x connector included with the card? and is it difficult to install? thx greetz |
should be no problem |
it depends, how many hard drives do you have? The 6600GT is no power beast, but still! What brand is your psu, if it is a cheap no name psu you probaly have to forget it! |
yeah maybe I should order another psu, cause this one I bought together with my case and it wasn't expensive :) thx for your help all. greetz |
The 6600GT AGP does need to be connected to your PSU via a molex connector. 400 watts is more the norm nowdays for PSUs and having a spare PSU around is advisable. |
6600gt all the way ordered one myself its a nice card for the $$ and works awesome |
