Lazereth -

Thanks for the reply.

So, even though the 660GT has 900-1000 MHz of memory speed and the 9800 Pro has less than 700 MHz, it outperforms the nVidia? That is interesting. What about the 9800 Pro makes it better when a numbers comparison seems to indicate otherwise.

I am also a draftsman and do a decent amount of CAD work--does that affect your opinion at all?

What makes the 9800 Pro such an insane deal? The price? Should it be more? Or is it the output of the card? Sorry, I was just trying to figure that comment out.

One computer gets BF played on it a lot and the other computer usually has DAOC played on it. Should I get the 9800 Pro for the BF computer and the 6600GT for the DAOC computer?

Sorry for all the questions. I am replacing cards that are not very old because I didn't know what I was doing when I bought them. This time, I want to make sure I get the very best deal for my money.

My budget for the two cards is roughly $400 bucks.

Thanks for your time,
