Conclusions

Even though Radeon X1600 AGP from HIS was faster than Radeon X700 AGP that we reviewed, GeForce 6600 GT is still a faster video card than Radeon X1600 Pro. On the other hand, this Radeon X1600 AGP with 256 MB is cheaper than a GeForce 6600 GT AGP with the same amount of video memory.

Frankly, if we were looking for the best mid-range AGP video card, we would buy a GeForce 6600 GT, as it is, in our opinion, the card that provides the best cost/benefit ratio for this segment. Radeon X1600 Pro should cost less (on the USD 110 range or below, we think) in order to compensate the performance difference between them and make it a reasonable buy. The price difference between them is very small and GeForce 6600 GT is definitely a better performer – it is worthwhile paying a little bit more to have one.

So, if we were looking for an AGP video card up to USD 140, we recommend you to go for a GeForce 6600 GT AGP, not a Radeon X1600 AGP.
