Albatron 6600gt Views
AGP cards are still needed as most of the consumers might not be able to afford to switch motherboard and ram etc for a new rig so they decide to get a decent video card instead. We have Albatrons latest 6600GT card on the test bench tonight and we will compare it to a 6800Ultra and vs a 6600GT PCI-E card to see the speed difference so can the AGP compete with the AGP card? Lets check it out!
Since we are stressing the card as much as possible it is expected that the Albatron 6600GT won't perform as good in this game as in the older games like Doom 3 and Far Cry. Even without AA and AF you have to move down the resolutions to get playable framerates with the Albatron 6600GT (or as we will show soon, add another 6600GT).
While we are still waiting for ATI to bring us their CrossFire-technology NVIDIA has been pushing SLI for quite some time now. In theory SLI can provide you with double the performance but it depends on the games. For instance I tested the Serious Sam 2 demo and regardless if I used 1 or 2 Albatron 6600GT's I got the same score. Serious Sam 2 was already supported in the drivers but even when I set up a separate profile for the game I couldn't get any speed increase.
The 6600GT has been getting the attention of budget gamers for a little while now. The 6600GT has afforded a great gaming solution at a low price. Plus the nice thing about this budget card is the ability to add a second card at a later date for increased performance. Albatron was generous enough to send us their Trinity 6600GT PCI-Express card for our torturing pleasure. Let
