OcUK 7600gt...

Macca · 28 Apr 2007 at 15:35

Well i'm looking to build a cheap system for some gaming, nothing too major just some games like CSS and stuff. Does this card have enough power to run this? Is the card good for the money or is there better alternatives?

It should have a coreduo2 or possibly amd64x2 cpu with it.

Should be fine for CSS and other last gen games

Macca · 28 Apr 2007 at 15:41

Thought it would be, how does it compare to a 6800GT, that was the last graphics card i had.

It is a bit better than a 6800ultra, there isn't a huge amount in it but it does also use less power than the 6800GT. A good solid card overall.

Its faster than a 6800GT

Cheers all. This card is probably best for this sort of price range unless i got something second hand?

Mine too. At 1280x1024 with 2xAA and 16xAF, it runs great.

Most likely

7600GT is a good card and clocks well

How much do you have to spend, you might be able to push to a X1800XT

Macca · 28 Apr 2007 at 17:34

300-400 budget for whole base unit system. So not much more than the price of the 7600gt i'm afraid.

Get the XFX XXX edition one

taz488 · 28 Apr 2007 at 18:32

i got one they are good cards, pretty much max most games, its a bargain!

I just bought a palit 7600GT agp to replace my 6800 modded to 1.31v in my second rig which runs 6/12 400/900 and my scores 3DMark05 HQ settings with an XP3200:

6800 128 MB 12/6 at 420/918 gets 4512

7600GT 256MB at 675/1616 gets 6508 first run today

Even more than a 7600GT PCIe at 660/1500 on an opteron 146 at 2720Mhz both in my main pc back in summer!!!! :eek:

luismenendez · 29 Apr 2007 at 17:19

I can give you also results running both in my old opty at 2720Mhz last summer:

3DMark 05:

6800 256MB PCIe at 430/869: 5075

7600GT 256 MB PCIe at 660/1500: 6165

And playing games much more better the 7600GT

BTW is better a 7900GS or even much better Ati 1950 pro for just a bit more money

tomanders91 · 29 Apr 2007 at 17:24

although most people hate them, the x1650xt (NOT PRO) is actually better than the 7600gt in most games.

Participant · 29 Apr 2007 at 17:25

I have a 7600GS and an oooold processor - CSS is very playable.

But by OCUK prices its also quite a bit more expensive and is too close to the price of the X1950pro to actually be of any great use.

7600gt - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-055-OK&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=356

or

x1650xt - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-068-HT&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=776

£64 and £82

7600gt better value for money although the x1650xt is slightly faster in almost every situation.

id say go for the 7600gt because ive got one

and its cheaper.

7600gt for the win!, bought this card on release date (xfx xxx one), even though it's now half the price i'm still pleased i replaced it with my 6800gt, it's a cracking card all round.

only thing it lacks is an power plug for overclocking, i actually have to underclock my card now because it was overclocked too much and is now ruined
