7600GT vs X800XL (This is a different situation)

[adrenalin]

I know that although 7600gt is 128-bit, and usually cost way less than over-priced x800xl is BETTER than 256-bit x800xl.

But this is a diffrent situation.

I can actually get...
x800xl 256mb 256-bit for $130 CDN!
(funny thing is in NCIX, its worth $300+)
BFG 7600GT OC for $190 CDN!

I think it is a really good deal.
Which one should i get?

(its my budget pc)
running with D930,1gb dd2 and AsRock mobo
I Might oc a little.

P.S are they both good enough to run Vista and CS 1.6 at max?
(i know that 9800pro can run it 100+ fps constant EASY)

7600GT is better since it's comparable (or better in some cases) than a X850XT. If you want to spend few extra $$$ for a 7600GT, then go for the 7600GT.

how about 256bit 850XT for $200
and that BFG 7600GT OC for $190???

Which is better?

Both a good for the money. Both perform similar, I'd say go for the 7600GT.

7600GT is 128-bit, but in this case, it's not an issue.

If you really want ATI, go for the X850XT, but I'd recommend the 7600GT.

If you need to save the money the $130 X800 XL is a good deal, but it's definitely worth the extra $ for the 7600 GT.

Damn, a BFG 7600 GT for only $190? Great deal. Take it!
I love the 7600 GT, it's a great performer for it's cost, not to mention BFG's perks (ie Lifetime warranty)

evga 7600gt for 130 on newegg AR

I just bought the x800xl from ati refurbished for 135, but if i had pci express I would have bought the 7600gt because it has the newer technology. Shader model 3.0 is suppose to be more efficient than 2.0 and will probably be better utilized in the future. Plus it has HDR.
