At most times it should be calculated as diff of higher-lower/lower * 100 and after about 60fps might not feel performance increase but that increase will still be noted.
t-No noticeble playable performance diff(5-10% as I have taken)
p-performance diff
but if you have r9800pro then you don’t need to upgrade to 6600gt.
also,when the diff in performance gain of gt is not too much then how did you find that in play:
except ingames like doom3,pop ot,there must be more games as well but in some if both cards do very well then you may forget actual play diff also at higher resolutions especially with aa and af probably both come to be quite close .
i haven’t posted the decimal places
approx fps
in games like cod:united offensive,if i am not wrong then maybe this was how it was:
1024*768,gt-163
pro-150
1280*1024,gt-116(116.8 actually but in most cases decimals have been ignored and this is the only case in which it is stated)
pro-118
1600*1200, i think gt goes ahead again.
gt-84
pro-79
Firstly this should be in the GFX section.
Hardboy we all know that there isnt much performance diff between the two around 5 - 10% max in D3d games, OpenGL is a diff story altogether, and yes it makes no sense whatsoever upgrading from a Radeon 9800 pro to 6600 GT.
But for a person buying a new card it makes much sense going for a 6600 GT.
A very imp point to notice is the failures of 9800 pros in Mumbai. There are too many of them even yours have conked so I would advise ppl to stay away from them.
Also Nvidia offers much better driver support for Linux. So though I have an ATI card right now its Nvidia all the way.
if anybody is having one such conked out card and if it is not under warranty, meaning useless for all practical purposes, then i am willing to buy one of these cards for academic interests only.
Mine isnt dead as yet , the fan on it is busted and this is the second time. If this happens one more time and i will probably be asking for a replacement.
Edit: And yes Club3d products that are sold over here in India do suck…
Mine is also a built by ati and mine has not yet been confirmed to conk off.
Also,if i sent it back to us,by courrier etc what are the chances of them giving a better cad
like radeon 9800xt or x800pro as don’t the companies in us often replace with beter cards.
the diff i noticed was in doom3, hl2, farcry. dint bother checking any older 1’s. & the newer 1’s that came out in feb or after feb i played it on my 6600gt so dont know how it would work on a 9800pro.
but if you already have a 9800pro its not advisable to upgrade to 6600gt unless u get a good offer for ur 9800pro & hadly have to remove any money like me.
nah i found hl2 also to work better on the 6600gt than a 9800pro & also 9700pro.
used the same system for both cards & obviously same settings. & u can play hl2 & d3 on 1600 res on the 6600gt so its all pretty clear which card is the winner.
try at 1024768 and 12801024 preferably without aa and af though you can keep at maxed settings and get the right catalyst drivers and tell the performance diff
cat 4.12 , 4.12beta better still try to use omega though be catious that it doesn’t give artifacts or other troubles etc.
Also,how well are you able to run hl2 at 1600*1200 with:
radeon 9800pro
geforce 6600gt
do you get smooth performance and atleast 30fps avg with both cards?
ot,there must be more games as well but in some if both cards do very well then you may forget actual play diff also at higher resolutions especially with aa and af probably both come to be quite close .
