As we mentioned earlier, the N6600GT is clocked higher than other brand 6600GTs. Its clocks are set at 520MHz for the core and 550MHz for the memory, thus reaching an effective speed of 1.1GHz which is the same as the 6800 Ultra's clock speed.

The Nvidia 6600GT AGP reference model used 2.0 ns memory as in the case of the MSI 6600GT AGP card which we have previously reviewed. Asus however decided that they wanted to stand out from the crowd and have used memory modules that support higher access speeds (1.6ns), hence increasing the maximum theoretical memory bandwidth.
