Gigabyte GVNX66T128D GeForce 6600GT

The first of two Gigabyte entries into the roundup, the Gigabyte GV-NX66T128D is a PCI Express-based videocard using the higher speed 6600GT GPU. It is SLI capable, as you can see from the MIO connector on the upper-front of the card. Clock speeds are set at the default 500MHz core/1000MHz memory of most 6600GT models.

For video memory, the GV-NX66T128D card features 128MB of Samsung K4J55323QF-GC20 GDDR3 BGA DRAM.

Gigabyte GV-NX66T128D - PCI Express x16
Includes:

Users Manual, Driver CD, PowerDirector 3 CD, Joint Operations CD, Thief: Deadly Shadows CD, Component VIVO breakout box, DVI to analog converter

The videocard has a smallish fan and heatsink combo that covers the core, but not the memory. This heatsink was extremely quiet in operation. The front of the Gigabyte GV-NX66T128D provides standard VGA and DVI connectors as well as an S-video out which doubles as the connector for the included breakout box. No extra power connector is required for this card.

The bundle includes the aforementioned breakout box which is a video-out only type featuring both component and S-video outputs and a handy velcro strip; also included are copies of Joint Operations: Typhoon rising and Thief: Deadly shadows as well as PowerDVD 5 and PowerCreator 3. A DVI-to-analog converter is tossed in for dual-monitor operation.

Overclocking: We were able to achieve stable speeds of 568MHz core, 1.07Ghz memory on the Gigabyte GV-NX66T128D videocard. Individually, the core and especially the memory were able to overclock a fair bit higher, but together this was the maximum we could achieve. Not the best of overclocking results, but far from the worst we've seen.
