COMMENT - "The performance of the MSI GeForce 6600 GT suddenly falls away when using medium quality settings which is probably due to the 100Mhz slower memory found on the MSI GeForce 6600 GT. Another cause might be the Asrock 939 Dual Sata2 which we have found can cause problems with some software and AGP video cards like the MSI GeForce 6600 GT."

COMMENT - "The BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC wins this graphically demanding game by between 4% to 6% compared to the XFX GeForce 6600 GT. The BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC does much better than the slower MSI GeForce 6600 GT beating it by between 2% to 24%. For the first time in this review the Leadtek Winfast PX6600 is totally unplayable with a game at any quality settings."
