ok who here has this card? i just got it today and was wondering what size of power supply does it take to run it fully?
thanx
thanx
I had it, it absolutely sucks.
well damn thats re-assuring
I have a 6600GT.. it should run on a 400W supply. (Although I use a 550W)
Ya, I have it...... it's not that great
Runs on medium and still lags a bit

My BFG 6600GT is a warrior. Comes pre overclocked and for the price I payed for it I am tottaly happy.
1280x1024
Most stuff high.
Lightning Medium
Dynamic Shadows Medium
Dynamic Lightning Low
Runs most maps no problem. I can run CSS and other games no prob. The BFG 66s require bigger Power Supplies though.

Ive got a 6600 and run it on a 400W supply. Its also overclocked@400 core clock and 500 memory clock.
Had a gforce 6600 built into my computer, worked fine on a 300 watt power supply, and there was almost no difference when I upgraded to a 480 watt. Other then not being a electricity whore the 6600 blows. If you can upgrade to a pci express card, any are much better then the 6600 and some have gotten pretty cheap recently.

I have one. The game runs fine for me on medium/low, the only thing that's holding me back is my RAM. 768Mb just isn't enough.
well i installed me card and it comes up something about the power supply and some cables, i just dont know how to connect it up properly
you're most likely not connecting a cable directly to the video card. Look on the opposite end of all the connections on your graphics card and there's probably a small four pin connector, or a big one like on hard drives. Be sure to connect that up.david363 wrote:

although it says that in the manual. So read that.
i have it connected to that on the card i just dont know were to connect it to in the pc itself
I had nothing in my 6600GT box except the card, had no idea how to fit it.
Noticed a connector on the side of the card, and a few loose cables hanging about doing nothing with the same connector. Stuck one in the card, bingo.

well, as I said look in the manual it should have all the info in there. With pretty pictures too.david363 wrote:

Otherwise, look for one of the connectors that fits into your video card in the wires directly coming from your PSU, OR, you might have a 3-point cable that plugs into your harddrive, video card, and one of the big four-pinned connectors from your PSU.
yea it is a three point one, didnt know it connected into my hard drive
well i just got a 500w psu from a 300x pse, i am now just a bit worried about puttin it all together
ok yea i just got it in.....close this topic
