Galaxy GeForce 6600 review - Page 1

Tweet Name: Galaxy 6600 256 MB
Description: NVIDIA 6600 8 pixel pipeline
based graphics card
Info: Galaxy Technology
Price: 160 EUR

Strong, that's the only word to describe NVIDIA's GeForce Series 6 line of graphics processors. They are dominating and slowly saturating the market with a product in every price class. Basically a graphics card for any budget. Today's test therefore has to be another GeForce Series 6 product. We'll bring you a review on the regular GeForce 6600, not the GT that we recently reviewed. No, this is the cheaper standard 6600. Today we will be testing the PCI-Express model and this little puppy that is running at a 325 MHz core with 550 MHz DDR 128-bit memory.

So what it the biggest difference between the 6600 and the 6600 GT you ask ? Two general features .. with slower performance being first and the missing capability of SLI (Scan Line Interleave). Basically you take two graphics cards, each card renders half of the image scan lines, which resulted in double the performance of a single board. A very nice feature for the GT.

The card tested today will become available in 128 and 256 MB configurations, you'll likely go for the 256 MB version and it's also the version we'll test today. Let's have a look at NVIDIA's GeForce Series 6 product line with the most important retail cards:

GeForce 6200 4 3 64/128-bit GDDR/128MB/256MB 300MHz 275(550)

I started this article by stating "a product for any budget." As you can see from the table above, NVIDIA is rather happy with the Series 6 graphics processor, they announced Series 6 in April and look what is saturating the retail and OEM market already. Quite amazing.

KFA2 Galaxy GTX 550 Ti LTD OC WHITE review
In this review we'll have a peek at the warmongers from KFA2 (Galaxy), they unleash this cute little beastly looking GTX 550 Ti LTD OC White edition graphics card. And to make it even more special, they slapped all components on a sexy white PCB again. Armed with that atypical looking cooler you'll learn that this product makes no compromises, you will not hear it, it will not run hot and it even comes factory clocked at a full GHz, quite amazing as GPUs seem to slowly pass that weird 1 GHz threshold.

Galaxy GeForce 9800 GT 1024MB review | test
We test a product from the guys at Galaxy, and that means customization and extra features, all for a fair price. Custom PCB, custom cooling, custom bracket, HDMI output, black DVI+backplate heck it even packs 1024MB of memory to play around with for roughly the same money as a 512MB model. All fairly impressive really.

Galaxy GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB review
Galaxy GeForce 9800GTX PLUS test - Galaxy recently released this product, custom PCB, custom cooling, custom bracket, HDMI output, black DVI and backplate. I sometimes wonder why a small company consistently can push out striking products like that and the bigger AIBs mainly focus on the reference design.

Galaxy Geforce 8800 GT HDMI w/ Xtreme Tuner
Our initial review of this product was taken offline as we received an early version of the product. This early version had a "beta" cooler on it that made a truck-load of noise. Galaxy claimed to have a new cooler ready and asked if if we could revise the review based on the new and final cooler. And therefore we have updated this initial article to revision 2; based on new facts with the final cooling solution implemented. And it sure is a lot better.
