7600GT AGP for sale?

[SilentKiller5]

I've been looking around for a new AGP card (I know, I know, AGP is nearly dead, but I'm not gonna bother with a new system just yet) and after some searching on Newegg, I found an A7600GT AGP for $172. Now, I've been sorta out of the loop for a while on video cards, but is this card really as powerful as the regular 7600GT? And would that make the card worth it?

If anyone has a better suggestion on how I should upgrade, I'm open to suggestions (but I have a video card budget of $200 max).

The AGP interface hasn't been a bottleneck for all graphics cards which you can buy from the market . 7600GT AGP is a good choice for you, I think.

Isnt the 7600GT be more expensive than the 7800GS? Why is it only $180 when the 7800GS is over $250?

Please explain me that

7800GS > 7600GT.

Also, the 7600GT is mid range, so why put a $300 tag on it?

I saw a review the other day thet put the 7800GS and the 7600GT just about level. To spend any extra on the 7800GS now would be just madness..

It's one of the best AGP values out there; buy it.

Last time I saw the 7800GS they were on the $280 range. I dont know about the 7600GT AGP

I picked up the Leadtek AGP 7600GT last week for <200.00 including tax and shipping & handling. I replaced my FX5900 Ultra and have had no problems,with noticeable improvements.

buy the Leadtek 7600 GT AGP.
it will serve u fine and will be able to run most of the games in the market except a few ones like Oblivion.

A 7600GT will run Oblivion fine at 1024x768

Sounds good, I think I'll but it then. Thanks everyone.

Just wondering, how does a 7600GT AGP compare to a x800xl AGP. I might be able to sell my card off to a friend and buy this one.

From what I can see the 7600 GT Agp is the better choice

the 7600 gt agp is out of stock on newegg and it doesn't look like they will have it in anytime soon

If you can't find the 7600GT, try to swing another $12 bucks into your budget and get this 7800GS, it's recertified but as long as it still comes with a warranty, what the hey: eVGA 7800GS

The 7600GT is better at stock speeds but this site shows that the 7800GS overclocks better and thus in the end has better performance.

If not, here's the best deal on a 7600GS that I could find: MSI 7600GS

Thanks for the benchmark link. Too bad it proves I'm better off holding onto my 6800GT for a tad longer rather than buying a "stop-gap" GPU for a month or so til I build a C2D system. Ah well it does well still but I'd rather have more bling at 12x10 than I do. C'mon vendors and get more conroe boards out lol

The 7600GT is better than the 6800GT, but a terrible upgrade for you. IMO keep the 6800GT until you are ready to upgrade to PCI-e.

 

[pauldh]

For you, the 7600GT would be a great upgrade and it's back in stock. If you want to keep AIW features, the AIW X800XT's are even cheaper than the 7600GT, although most games would favor the 7600GT by a little.

Yeah, the X800XT would be similar in terms of performance, but I don't really need the AIW features (though they are nice to have). I actually nearly bought it on the ATI website (using the trade-up program, I would've traded in my REALLY old Radeon 9200) for a pretty good price, but I decided to reconsider just to see if other prices might go down, then the 7600GT popped up . So I'm still not sure about the 7600GT, but I think it would still be a good option.
