Technical Feed Back:

Now it's time to check out some technical feedback and some benchmarks. So the first thing we will do is get a look at the NVIDIA ForceWare 66.93 WHQL Display Properties for the GeForce PCX 6600GT.

• Gainward PowerPack!Ultra/1960PCX XP
  

We are targeting two popular configurations for the benchmarks. I am going to run the tests using both 1280 x 1024 & 1024 x 768 using both 4 x AA, 8 x AF and then using No AA and No AF and will sample the game in 1 minute long samples using the latest version of FRAPS 2.5.1.

Turn out the lights and Gainward will put a red glow inside your rig with three very bright light emitting diodes. They are inside and underneath the fan blades and put out significant light. Looks pretty cool!

Golden Sample products offer up to 25% faster 3D real-world performance with enhanced engine clock settings and faster memory speed settings recommended by Gainward (Enhanced Performance Settings) when running 3D applications at higher resolution (1280x1024@32bit). Gainward provides its proprietary EXPERTool Performance Tuning Utility for customized clock settings.

XP indicates that the 3Dprocessor board features 2 TV-in connectors (both composite and S-video), 2 TV-out connectors (both com - posite and S-video) plus a DVI connector. Specifications may change without prior notice.
