 Proof that you really don't need to spend a fortune on yoru pc, just about 500 every 2-3 years and you can enjoy games .

Unless yuh want to boast on forums about 3DMark scores.

define enjoy.

lol

some people don't mind games chugging along at 30fps, 800x600 with all setting on medium.

Others won't stand for anything less than 60fps, 1600x1200 all setting on high

[TrinireturnofGamez]

   ''good enough'' ie.  high settings 1024x768 resolution , anti aliasing in older games  , this is a 6600 non GT they use.... fast as a 9800 pro .

[TriniXaeno]

that's solid enough for the average gamer for sure.

plain vanilla 6600 is definitely  gameworthy.

Not high end stuff, just below the mid end mark but not that you'd notice.
