Albatron GeForce 6600GT (PCI-E)

What you get

Of course the card came with the requisite driver CD and bundle.  Included in the bundle was WinDVD Creator, a 5-in-1 game pack CD and the Arx Fatalis game CD.

That big fat cable that is pictured is your HDTV cable, which includes the S-Video out connection, Video-Out connection and three HDTV connections; pretty slick.

The Card

As you can see, we have our 6600GT mounted on the familiar blue Albatron PCB.

  

A large heatsink with Albatron's colors and crest covers the GPU. The heatsink itself is copper as are the sinks which adorn the GDDR3 memory.

  

A shot of the back of the card shows that the memory (128mb DDRIII) is on one side of the PCB only.  This eliminates the need for heatsinks back here, thus reducing the weight of the card. 

The card connections are pretty standard with our VGA, DVI and S-Video connections.

Of course like other cards in it's class, the Albatron Trinity 6600GT is SLI ready. 

Albatron was fairly generous with the thermal paste for the GPU, and once we got everything scraped off we were able to get a pretty good shot of the chip itself.

  

Well, with it's nice shiny surface, the GPU core certainly looks nice, but just how well does it perform?
