Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT Hands-On Preview

No_Style · Sep 8, 2004, 05:27 AM

With the release of the GeForce 6600 and 6600 GT graphics chips, Nvidia finally begins to flesh out the 6-series lineup to include mainstream products. The new GeForce 6600 series brings all the advancements of the 6800 series to the masses, albeit with lower clock speeds and fewer pixel pipelines.

Both the GeForce 6600 and 6600 GT ship with 8-pixel pipelines. The GeForce 6800 and 6800 GT, in comparison, come with 12- and 16-pixel pipelines, respectively. The GeForce 6600 series may seem hobbled when compared to the overachieving 6800s, but you have to remember that the top-of-the-line graphics cards at the beginning of this year only had 8-pixel pipelines. In addition, the 6600 GT sports all the perks of its bigger brothers, which specifically include the CineFX 3.0 engine, Directx 9.0c support, and Shader Model 3.0 support.
