nVidia 'NV43 PCI-e'

Club3D GeForce 6600 GT (PCI-e)

With the GeForce 6-series nVidia was back on track. The 6600 GT was a mid-range card with a 128-bit memory bus. Due to high clock frequencies the card performed quite well, and with some older games, very good. The 6600-series always had higher clocks compared to their 6800 counterparts. nVidia build the 6600 GT chip with a smaller die-size which allowed higher clock frequencies.

This card from Club3D doesn't use high quality components. Over the years some of the capacitors start to break down. I also noticed that the Z-buffer in Wolfenstein Enemy Territory at 1600x1200 look 16-bit rather than 32-bit. This is probably a driver issue. > Read more
