What I was saying originally was that the 600GT is faster than a 4650 in Doom3 so I am going to get a 4770 for my system. I was asking which of the 6600 or the 4650 I should go with in my wife's system to play SIMS 3???

Is that a mis-type? Meanwhile the 4770 looks to bench about the speed of the old 3870X2. 4870X2 par with GTX295 3870X2 par with GTX280 mark.dodge wrote: > I guess another question I have not been able to answer looking around the > net... > Will the 6600GT or the 4650 be better for SIMS 3???? > My wife's computer's vid is PCI E so I'm wondering about the horses needed > to play Sims 3.
