Dan's Data heeft een handige vergelijking tussen de Asus V6600, Asus V6600 Deluxe en Leadtek Winfast GeForce 256 in elkaar gefrutseld. Voor overklokkers heeft de V6600 Deluxe een leuke feature genaamd 'SmartDoctor', waarmee je de temperatuur, voltage en fan speed van de GeForce kunt meten:
Because the Deluxe has on-board temperature monitoring, you can use the included ASUS SmartDoctor program to automatically clock the card back when it's too hot. When SmartDoctor's auto-cooling is activated no other overclocking options will work, and I couldn't tell exactly what speed the card was running at when it was cool. It seemed about the same speed with SmartDoctor activated as when I'd manually overclocked it to 140MHz core speed, 195MHz RAM. SmartDoctor's constant monitoring of the chip voltage and fan speed is supposed to cause a slight performance hit, but I couldn't detect any speed loss. Some early ASUS hardware monitor software was appallingly bad in this regard (forget slowing the machine down, it just crashed it!), but SmartDoctor seems well written and stable.

Wat betreft overklokbaarheid bleken alle kaarten rond de 135/140MHz core en 190MHz memclock uit te komen. Meer daarover lees je in de review.
