I have an eVGA 7600GT, and it runs any game I throw at it well, without any problems.

I don't know anything about the brand that makes that so it may be really good for an X800, or really shitty; I have no idea.

Thanks Again AwsmGy.
I haven't heard of that name either.

Just go with this eVGA 7600 GT which is 148.99 after a 10.00$ MIR and you will still have some money left over. Plus there is only a 4.69$ 3 day shipping through UPS. GO GET IT!

I have a XFX 7600 GT and they have a great warrenty but so does eVGA now. I can run Battlefield 2 at high settings and with 4x AA enabled and no lag what so ever. I do recommend this card.

Over the past 2-3 months, I have bought three eVGA cards; a 6600, a 6600GT, and a 7600GT. None has given me any grief, so I will likely choose eVGA the next time I buy a graphics card too.

 

[ussra2]

why pay more when you can do the same thing yourself? Maybe you shouldnt post if you dont know what your talking about.

Many Thanks for the help guys

Most of the 7600GTs are generically the same. One or two of the companies may have added a different cooler aside from the reference cooler, other than that they are mainly the same.

A few like eVga and BFG offer their cards overclocked from the factory, which is nice if you don't know much about overclocking and would prefer one already clocked higher than spec.

Also pay attention on what is packaged with the card if your interested in "free" stuff. eVga's usually doesn't come with a good bundle of free games but they do offer their Trade-Up program which allows you to upgrade a 7600GT to a 7900GT. You pay the difference between the 2 cards and return the 7600GT to them. Newegg is offering their XFX 7600GTs with a free copy of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and MSI 7600GTs with a free copy of Prince of Persia 3.

LOL a x800xl can't keep up with a 7600gt. A x850xt kinda.

you should go with the BFG 7600 GT. it comes with a lifetime warrenty and they're overclocked right out of the box.
