"NVIDIA's latest generation of chipsets gives exceptional performance and
feature gains across the entire line, from the consumer cards to the

which is the best endorsement I can give," said John Carmack, president and
technical director of id Software."
The GeForce 6600 GPUs will be featured in live demonstrations starting today
at QuakeCon, which is being held August 12-15 at the Gaylord Texan Resort

year, and the mind blowing price/performance ratio of GeForce 6600 GPUs -- 
that is what gamers' dreams are made of."
