BFG GEFORCE 6600 GT OVERCLOCKED PCIE REVIEW
"BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC review featuring XFX GeForce 6600 GT (PCIE), MSI GeForce 6600 GT (AGP), Leadtek Winfast PX6600 (PCIE) and Athlon64 3000. Benchmark software used:- Chronicles of Riddick, Doom III, Far Cry and Far Cry HDR."
 BFG GEFORCE 6600 GT OC SPECIFICATIONS
The BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC is a PCI Express™ video card running at 525Mhz (vs 500Mhz on a standard GeForce 6600 GT) with 128MB GDDR3 memory running at 1050Mhz (vs 1000Mhz on a standard GeForce 6600 GT), it has a 400Mhz RAMDAC, connectors for Dual DVI-I, HDTV S-Video Out and a massive 16.8GB/second memory bandwidth.
BFG's Overclocked GeForce 6600 GT is the only Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT in this review which is advertised as higher than standard core and memory clock speed. The 25Mhz core and 50Mhz memory clock speed increase will not deliver a huge increase in performance but should give the BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC the required speed to beat the other video cards in this review.
The BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC has an eight pipe superscalar design, and features the only GPU in its class that supports Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 Shader Model 3.0. The BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC will support NVIDIA’s SLI™ multi-GPU technology in a PCI Express-based system.
GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION |
|
| BENCHMARK SETTINGS:- We use three different image quality and resolution settings when we benchmark computer hardware for review. Low quality setting uses a resolution of 1024x768 (unless otherwise stated) and all of the game settings are set to low, this setting will mostly test for processor rather than video performance. Medium quality setting uses a resolution of 1280x1024 (unless otherwise stated) and all of the game settings are set to medium, this setting will test both the processor and video performance. High quality setting uses a resolution of 1600x1200 (unless otherwise stated) and all of the game settings are set to high, this setting is a very demanding test for video rather processor performance! |
CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK

MSI GEFORCE 6600 GT LEADTEK WINFAST PX6600 |
COMMENT - "Game benchmarks are much more important and interesting than synthetic benchmarks and the extra speed of the BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC should give it the edge against the other GeForce 6600 GT video cards. The BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC starts off well in the 1024x768 benchmark beating the XFX GeForce 6600 GT by 4% and the MSI GeForce 6600 GT by 7%. The 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 results are less interesting with BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC winning by 2% to 4%."

MSI GEFORCE 6600 GT LEADTEK WINFAST PX6600 |
COMMENT - "To really stress the BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC we have now enabled HDR using the highest quality settings in Far Cry. With HDR enabled even the BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC's performance has been cut in half but it is still playable at 1024x768."
