The 7600Gt is one tier better than the HD2600 according to the THG hierarchy chart.

thank you so much!!!!!!!!
I want to ask you a question
Is my PSU suitable for 7600gt?

Reply to thanh1056

If it were a quality (Corsair , Seasonic, Antec) 450W, then yes..no-name questionable at best. I wouldn't try it.

Facedesk for a Lot of you, the 7600gt isn't a very powerful card and is going to suffer heavily in games like crysis even on 800x600. Go with the 2600 pro as it is DX 10 and can still be a great benefit in HD content and is likely to be HDCP compliant unlike the 7600gt. I know the Geforce 7 generation very well and I know that getting a 7600gt is a poor choice.

If you can find the HD 2600 XT model you will have better performance.

Why not search for a dirt cheap second hand 3870/4670 that will easily blow both cards away without a second thought.

Reply to nforce4max

so between hd 2600 pro vs 7600gt, which is the better one?

Reply to thanh1056

blah and blah....
ATi HD2600 is better than the 7600GT.

Let me put it this way. I once had two evga 7600gs in sli and they for the time did a decent job playing the games that I played at the time except for cyrsis. To put it short my 2400 pro did a better job than that setup. Two 7600gs in sli is a Lot faster than a single 7600gt and yet a 2400 pro smoked them and that 2600 pro is roughly 3 times the shader count than my old 2400 pro. Double the physical path and four times than bandwidth. Sure the fill rates aren't that great but shader will more than make up for it.

HD2600 is the newer of the two in terms of technology including the later directX version; more compatible with windows 7 and the aero desktop.
more powerful and more efficient (per ratio) as well compared to the 7600GT.
nothing else really to say.

Read my previous post and you will get the idea why. The shader performance of the 7600gt is CRAP in newer games that would favor more modern card or ati. I will say this and got it from a presentation dating from around 2007 from nvidia. The G70/71 had 800 threads (24 physical shaders) and was very difficult to effectively program and when they diverged performance tanked. The G73 is no different and suffered all the same. Cards that I have owned from this generation. 2x evga 7600gs, 1x evga 7800gs, 3x evga 7900gs ko, 2x alienware 7900gtx duo. So I know this generation better than probably any one here on the forum and I can tell you that you shouldn't get this card as it does not do very well in shader heavy games ware the 2600 pro would wipe it on the floor regardless of fill rates. If you can't understand even these two posts then you shouldn't be gaming or using a windows or Linux based machine and just settle instead with a mac. I use all three as I have to for school and play.

2600 pro > 7600gt
FTW...........FTF
Good fps.....Not so good fps....

start a new thread..
even though the answer you selected was very good, no complaints about that, but maybe premature since you are still asking for help...
once best answer is selected, it's usually a short time then moderator will close thread and forum members move on.
so next time do not be so quick to pull the trigger.
so if still wanting help then start over.
