at last, 5600 - 7600GT WOW!

sunlitsix · 30 Mar 2006 at 19:03

finally made the jump to PCI-E.
got the XFX 7600GT XXX edition with the ASUS A8N-SLI SE mobo.
some pics, this card is soo small. the top card is my 6800

its only a tad bigger than my X-fi

havent ran 3D Mark 05 yet, but will post the score when i do

i dont think it was worth the upgrade from a 6800gs to a 7600gt.

sunlitsix · 30 Mar 2006 at 19:13

it was a 6800nu, which died.
so ive been stuck with an FX5600 for ages

i would have kept the old system or if i was gonna upgrade id go for the 78/900gt. if you look at the link there isnt much of a difference.
but then again i hope you the best

They are sexy lil cards. Get a Zalman on that bad boy tho

sunlitsix · 30 Mar 2006 at 20:34

at its stock speeds of 590/1600 in 3D Mark '05 i got 6557 3D Marks

in comparison my 6800nu got around 4700 when overclocked

Vegeta · 30 Mar 2006 at 20:39

WOW thats a really good score, I thought it was just about as good as a ultra but at stock it seems to be quite a bit better, kinda regretting buying a 6800ultra 2nd hand now.

kdd · 30 Mar 2006 at 20:41

Pretty nice upgrade, 2x ram and gddr 3, much higher clocks. Now buy another!
Nice score btw, about the same as an overclocked x850xtpe.

Lanz · 30 Mar 2006 at 20:55

Is the card pretty silent?

I dont suppose you got Oblivion handy that you can test it on?

sunlitsix · 30 Mar 2006 at 20:56

in 3D mode its far from it, but i soon drown it out

ive also just let coolbits do its thing, auto detected at 605 on the core and 1663 on the ram

and no i havent got oblivion yet, sorry

Lanz · 30 Mar 2006 at 21:02

What about when its idle, is it noticable?

Give us a overclocked 3dmark score then

Sparky · 30 Mar 2006 at 21:13

Compares very well to my x850XT

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1905566

Think my processor gives me the edge so all in all a very good buy mate.

Vegeta · 30 Mar 2006 at 21:23

Should be able to reach around 7500 minimum I reckon with overclocking, maybe you should be aiming for 8k?

sunlitsix · 30 Mar 2006 at 21:31

i doubt im going to get much more out of it, ill have ago though

then again i havent cracked this mobo's bios yet, so increasing the CPU's speed will increase the score abit

OzZie · 30 Mar 2006 at 21:35

Enjoy. Never knew they performed so well

Sparky · 30 Mar 2006 at 21:38

Look like a steal tbh,cracking performance for little outlay is always good.Let's see some 3Dmark01 please mate if you get time

amdnv · 30 Mar 2006 at 21:47

My OC'd 6800U apg gets 6000-6400 depending on quality slider in driver and my current OC which is max of 470/1250, so thats good score as this card was over £400 16months ago

Glad your happy mate

Journey · 30 Mar 2006 at 21:52

Just whacked an MSI 7600GT in for a friend today, went from default clocks to 652MHz Core and 800MHz RAM with coolbits and 3D05 was 7555 so thats pretty good for a £130 outlay.

Mitch007 · 30 Mar 2006 at 21:54

Upgrade...

i'm well impressed, good, simple looking card, and nice score.

I was not expecting it to be as weighty! score wise!
