Strange as it sounds, here is a little story of me, read and soon , you will also scratch your head and say "wtf.."
Long ago i had this A64 3000 with a 6600gt gddr2card, it performed well, this was about ayear ago
then i upgraded to a643500 and a 6800gt OCgddr3 from bfg... faster than my first rig, you bet!.... yet, somehow over almost 6 months, somethign naged the back of my head, windows felt... slugish.... BUT syntetic benchmarks, and fps games obiosly SAID this new cpu and GPU where a lot faster... so i stayed like this and went along, it was fast alright
just today i bought a 7600GS from evga, sure tgs video card charts , rank it just below the 6800gt ddr3 model, but i said what the hell and swaped it tested..
6800gt oc 3dmark 2005 = 5700
7600gs 3dmark 2005 = 4200
SO yes, the card ranks lower.... BUT, i fired up my games, garrys mod, splinter cell... and OMG!!!! WINDOWS IS FAST, BLAZING FAST, games load even quicker, and guess waht FPS are consistent if not faster than before AND THE GAMES my GOD its like they all got the special effects added in, with greater detail,
Obviously the 7600 gpu is as fast if not more powerfull than the 6800, and im sure the new eye candy im watching , is well.. the 6800 cant just do..
heres the kick the 7600 needs no power conector molex, and the 6800 is just a power consumption hog...
so what do you think about this 00
(i think this all sound a bit weird, but it is 5 am, i will tyr not to post again like this X_X)
