Solve : Video Card Comparison Questions? |
|
Answer» For anyone who knows video cards, I have a question. I'm considering the XFX Geforce 7600GT vs. the XFX Geforce 6800XT. Pretty much, the two differences are the 7600 has 12 pixel pipelines and 128-bit memory interface and the 6800 has 8 pixel pipelines and 256-bit memory interface. Which would be the better card? You should spend more than $ 150 if you want a good card. WHY? There is no need with this good video card. Especially with prices starting to come down. With the 30.00 rebate on this card you could get 2 for 230.00 and HOOK both up SLI and have top notch graphics on your puter. Read some of the reviews from people who bought this, and they are from hard-core gamers, unlike myself. Quote QuoteYou should spend more than $ 150 if you want a good card. I used to own an SLI set up with two 6600LE Passive videocards that were 99 euros each and it was heavily outgunned when compared to my 276 euro costing Asus 7600GT Passive and I do not regret spending more than I was originally planning on. The SLI increase may have been as little as 20% in Call of Duty 2 and Battlefield 2. Not quite worth the trouble nor the money. Plus: SLI only works if the software supports the game.. And Crossfire is way too expensive and hard to come by.You just answered my statement. you can't even compare a 6600le to the 7600 gt the sli 20% increased has been posted by people who did the SETUP and did not notice a drastic improvement, but; you can't compare apples to oranges. The 7600gt is quite a jump in quality then the 6600le*It's like going from an apple to... to... a basket of apples!Quote you can't even compare a 6600le to the 7600 gt Yes I can. They're both PCI-E, they're both Nvidia and they're both videocards. I'm saying that you should get a good videocard and if you want to make use of SLI, you should still get a good videocard. Quote The 7600gt is quite a jump in quality then the 6600le* And thats why you need to spend more than 150 dollars on a videocard. Well, you have good points there, I would leave it at this... Unless you have a puter running one of the best cpu's and an awesome mobo with 2 gigs of ram and a 600+ psu, u ain't gonna notice drastic differences unless your overclocking your system to the max. Just found this* GREAT comparison article on 3 different cards (including the 7600gt) under $ 200.00 this might help in your decision*. http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/08/25/sub_200_pci_express_graphics_card_showdown/I actually have to upgrade my kids pc as well, so top $$$ for my own card is way out of the question. I just cant do $200+ for a pair of cards. Thanks for the links and the info Try looking for a 7300GT if you're on a budget. |
