It is still (lol, still...just came out recent enough) a high-end card. You could say a card like the 9800pro is getting outdatted...it's slipping into the midrange...but not the 6600GT.

Does anybody read this thread or my posts???
I recommended a vanilla 6800 because it uses less than 40W under load, which is quite impressive.
Sorry, but a 6600GT is anything but high-end

hmm, I guess I meant it is high-range.... | |

x800pro and up can be considered high-range but not high-end 
I'm not saying it's a bad card, I'm saying it's definitely not anywhere close to high-range. | |

Eye of the beholder, boys... eye of the beholder...
(I have a Geforce2 MX/MX 400 32MB... and it's "high-end" enough for me to play HL2 and Doom 3... so I'm happy. ;] )
(... unless, of course, anyone wants to buy me a new card or send me an old one. Ahahahaha. ;] ) | |
