Albatron PC6600U Video Card Author:  Matt Date:  2005.02.21 Topic:  Video Provider:  Albatron Manufacturer:  Albatron

Introduction:

Our friends at Albatron sent TWL a pretty cool videocard to review and without hesitation we put it to work. The card is the GeForce 6600U (PC6600U) with 128MB DDR on the card. Since the card is a PCI Express version, we installed it on our new Albatron 915P4/G4 Pro motherboards. The card is designed to fall somewhere between the standard 6600 card and the GT model. The performance and options with overclocking the card gave features worth taking note. The card was everything we expected and a few cool features too.
