Zeus_Hunt Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Looking for the best mainstream videocard...While Nvidia remains quite dominant in the high-end segment, a much larger battle has taken place to offer the best mainstream graphics product. Currently the two leading mainstream cards are the Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS and the ATI Radeon HD 2600XT, both of which are priced well under $200.Today we will be comparing these two mid-range graphics cards head to head using a 512MB VisionTek Radeon HD 2600XT and a 256MB ASUS GeForce 8600 GTS. While neither product features overclocking out of the box, the Radeon has an obvious advantage in that it sports twice as much video memory. And while this may appear to be unfair, we have found that the average 512MB Radeon HD 2600XT graphics card retails for just $140, while the average price of a GeForce 8600 GTS sporting 256MB of memory is $160.Therefore, in our comparison between the Radeon HD 2600XT and the GeForce 8600 GTS, we have found the Radeon X1950 Pro to be the winner, go figure.

ZeuZ Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Well, myself I would rather use 2 nVidia in SLI... ATI doesn't convince me too much like to buy 2 xDBetter quality in nVidia but for a higher price...All My life I've been having trouble with movile chipsets from ATI, so I stick with nVidia even though the other one has been chosed victorious...
