Brutally honest. That phrase is a bit of an oxymoron, is it not? Seriously, what's so brutal about truth and honesty, anyway? Perhaps this term stems from another old saying: the truth hurts. Certainly that is the case with respect to NVIDIA's recent launch of its initially PCI Express-based GeForce 6600GT series product, versus ATi's legacy X600 architecture on the PCIe-based Radeon X600 XT. Let's face facts: The GeForce 6600 series mops up cleanly on any competitive product in the mid-range graphics arena, whether you consider its current PCIe implementation or forthcoming AGP derivatives. The numbers don't lie, and the benchmarks we showcased for you in our GeForce 6600 launch article told the brutally honest tale.
