Right, theres bound to be someone who knows alot about gfx cards and could help me out, i kinda stuck, im not sure which one to get, although the X1600PRO is a 512MB card and the 7600GT is 254MB, apparantly they run about the same, so im wondering which one would run faster genrally


thanks in advance

7600GT,i am sure

7600gt

7600GT. easily.

cool ok, looks like im getting that then

Yep, 7600gt is faster. Unless money is an issue and 1600 would be lot cheaper go for 7600. More gfx memory might be useful if you have a game which has lot of textures etc (usually they are so new games that you would need a faster card than 1600pro). But for lfs 7600 should be much better.

You can compare different cards with different settings (and different games) for example here

Using a 7600GT here, very pleased with its performance espically for the money. Better drivers than ATI too.

my friend uses too and had no problems working great.

X1600PRO is slow. I have one, its only a little bit faster then my old 9600XT.

how about a 7500GS DDR3?

planning on getting one though..

erm - wouldn't if i were you!

Jakg, isnt a 6600GT better then a 7500GS?

no idea - the 7500LE s as quick as a 6600GT is you have a lot of ram, as the 7500LE is TurboCache, so it leeches memory of your PC, although the 7500LE is OEM only - i don't know anything about the 7500GS, neither does Google, either way i'd steer clear

Yeh, stay far from it. I would never touch any turbocrap stuff. Even if you had all the memory in the world it wouldn't be as fast as onboard gfx card memory. Just think about it needing to transfer all the stuff constantly between system memory and gpu illepall
