With the price of the X1650 XT and 7600 GT touching the $100 price point, the 7600 GS is too expensive to be recommended anymore. Instead, the 7300 GT is a low-priced alternative for those who want to do as much gaming as they can for as little money as possible. Priced as low as $60, the 7300 GT is a good fit for that job.

| Radeon X1650 XT | |

| Codename: | RV560 |
| Process: | 80nm |

The X1650 XT has recently come down in price and is a good competitor to the 7600 GT. Overall performance is a bit faster than that of the 7600 GT, but they trade blows depending on the game. The bottom line is that for $110 - and sometimes as low as $100 - you can get a really good gamer's card.
| GeForce 7600 GT | |
|---|---|
| Codename: | G73 |
| Process: | 90nm |
| Pixel Shaders: | 12 |
| Vertex Shaders: | 5 |
| Texture Units: | 12 |
| ROPs: | 8 |
| Memory Bus: | 128-bit |
| Core Speed MHz: | 560 |
| Memory Speed MHz: | 700 (1400 effective) |
The 7600 GT is another good card in this price range, sporting new SM 3.0 technology and very high clock speeds to deliver excellent performance. Its weakest feature is its 128-bit memory bus, but its high memory speeds offset that disadvantage and make it competitive with 256-bit cards like the X850 XT.
