that's maybe the chip's internals...but normally talking about the difference between 128 bit or 256 bit on graphics cards referes to the memory bandwidth...which IS 128 bit for 6600/gt series...Mopy wrote:Where did you hear 6600GT's are 128 bit?Captain Kremen wrote:Watch out for the Gforce Nvidia 6800XT card that is about to be released it is aimed at the budget gamers market and should be better tha a 6600gt in that it has more pipes and is 256bit rather than 128 bit processing - they should be out for about £120 shop around though & go for a good make as they tend to put faster memory & better heatsinks on

That's mine right there, and it's most deffinately 256 bit.

the 6600gt and 6800le's are fairly even as far as performance goes
but the le's can have thiere pipes and shaders unlocked and gives them a considerable boost in perforance
as well as the advtage of the 256bit memory bandwidth compared to 128 on the 6600 cards
if your lucky the 6800le's can even be unlocked as far as 6800gt levels

I have one of those, and OMG are they utter *****. Trust me you do not want to get one of those, plus they are grosly underpowered, it doesn't even do the likes of halo properly, neverlone X3. Sorry but 100 pounds for that is a rip off. I would be looking at 6800 range personally.muppetts wrote:The FX 5700 256mb is mid ranged, has pixel shading support (x3) and comes in at 100 quid.
