Hi guys,
i want to spend 200-250e for a new VGA (pci-express)

The new 7600 looks nice, but only 8 pipelines and 128bit mem.
How would it compare to a 6800GS or the cheapest 7800 ?
What would you prefer for your machine ?

(I m going for nvidia coz the new M/B will be a NForce 4 chipset)

7600GT

You should look at the GT model. 12 pixel pipes. Its still 128bit, but it should run better then 6800GS. Can't remember the benchmarks, but I saw it did well against it.

Anthlon Xp or An AMD FX-57 ? <----what u think

i mean CMON ... u know u seen the Benchmarks from the 7600 gt , it beats the 6800gs in all ! is that enough proof ? i guess not

7600gt is a new core , 90nm , and less voltage to power it

i guess people see the card and think why is it so small and the heatsink looks like something from the 6600gt line


but ehh

Just because it's faster it doesn't mean it's better dude... Look at the spec's before looking at the benchmarks.

7600GT is a 128-128membus. it just has faster memory.

6800gs, 256-256. Intellisample 3.0 Vertex Shaders 3.0, Pixel Shaders 3.0. This is why I purchased the 6800GS. OC it just a little bit, and you've got an GT. Not OC the 7600 isn't going to happen. It's already there.

While I agree that core and memory speeds are not the only factors one should consider when looking at a card, the specs aren't either. The 7600 GT is definately a better card in all aspects, except maybe if you are planning on doing extremem overclocking. However, the price of the 7600 GT and the performance increase over the 6800 GS make it definately the better pick for 99% of people.

ya you need to shut up, people ask questions because they want answers. if that transaction didnt go on there would be no tomshardware forum. who cares if theres 3, yes only 3 posts about the 7600GT and gs/other cards ect. just get a stress ball :D Peace.

Ok the budget seems to be a bit smaller.
A young guy friend of mine is planning to open a gaming-cafe so he asks what graphics card to go for. Most games they play are World of Warcraft, LineageII and CallofDuty2.
Should go for a cheaper X800 or pay the extra euro for the 7600GT?
He is quite on a budget :)

You're a bit of a D... H... aren't you buddy?
The video card market is extremely complex and you do not know all right? How old are ya? 2?

The idea of a forum is to ask so if you don't like it...tough
