CONCLUSION - "It's good to see how well the GeForce 6600 GT performs even when using high resolution and high quality settings. The GeForce 6600 GT easily delivered playable game performance even when using the latest games like Earth 2160, GT Legends, Quake 4 and Serious Sam 2. Using low quality or low resolution with the GeForce 6600 GT would be a waste. The GeForce 6600 GT should ideally be used with high quality settings at 1280x1024 or medium quality settings at 1600x1200."

The Gainward Radeon HD 4870 also features advanced GDDR5 memory running at 3600 Mhz DDR which is 45% faster than the Gainward Radeon HD 4850."

"The Gainward Radeon HD 4850 is a pixel shading powerhouse boasting 800 Unified Shaders compared to 320 with the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 which means that the Gainward Radeon HD 4850 has 60% more shading power. However the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 is using powerful GDDR4 memory and the Gainward Radeon HD 4850 is using slower GDDR3 memory. Another advantage for the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 is the 20% higher GPU speed compared to the Radeon HD 4850."
