I'm looking for an upgrade to my computer's graphics.
I'm currently using the Gigabyte Radeon 9550 128BIT card.
The 3 cards are nVidia Geforce 7600GS, ATI Radeon X1650PRO and ATI HD2600PRO.
I looked in the site's Desktop VGA Charts, and find out that the HD2600PRO is much better than the other two.
But I noticed that in this charts all the cards are PCI-E, and the HD2600PRO AGP version has 800-1000MHZ DDR2 Memory speed, while the PCI-E is 1400MHZ G-DDR3 memory speed (So I believe the AGP Version is much weaker).
The X1650PRO seems to be stronger than the 7600GS.
I know that the HD2600 Pro supports DX10, but I prefer Performance than that support.
I searched for a comparison but I didn't find.
1. What do you recommend?
2. I can go for the 7600GT. the problem is my power supply, it's 300W only. the manufacturer is FSP Group - it's Power supply comes with a foxconn case. The model is F350-A. I think it's real watts.
The rest of the computer is:
Intel Pentium 4 2.4B
MSI 865PE Neo 2 S
PQI 256MB DDR 333MHZ X 2 DC
Samsung 512MB DDR 400MHZ X 2 DC
GigaByte Radeon 9550 128BIT@380/500
WD 80GB WD800JD SATA
LG GSA-H10A DVD Recorder
Logitech Internet Pro Black Keyboard
Samsung SyncMaster 710T
Foxconn TLA570 + FSP 300W
a. Do I need another PSU for this Card?
b. If not, Does the Cpu is a bottleneck for 7600GT? and if I overclock it to 3GHZ how it would preform?
thank you.
