someone tell me how the hell a 7600gt can beat a x850 if its running at 128 bit and 12 pipes???

im not the only one lost i hope

More efficient architecture, high core speeds, etc . . .

The same way a 128-bit 6600GT could equal and beat a 256-bit 9800XT

This deal STILL can't be beat Although there may be a LOT of "refurb" EVGA 7800GTs coming out soon with all the peeps "stepping up" to the 7900GT for only a few bucks. I may opt to buy a "used" 7800GT to run SLI IF I can find one for ~<$165.

YOU HAVE TO GET AN ATI GRAPHICS CARD FOR IT TO WORK

X850XT for $154 after MIR on newegg. Very sweet deal to pass up

Seriously, the X850XT is a great deal, gopher it! lol!

PS: 6800GS and X850XT are exactly the same price after MIR, choose your pick

i still can't see the difference between a 128-bit card and a 256-bit card. Anyone care to explain??

I think he's saying that the ECS Mobo with integrated ATI Graphics is incompatible with Nvidia Drivers and messes up his computer

 

[DaRkLoRd666]

with that motherboard (the ECS RS482-M) u can NOT USE A NVIDIA GRAPHIC CARD there is a freezing problem with the compatibiulity of the ati chipset and the nvida card, I HAD THAT SAME MOTHERBOARD AND THE CARD DID NOT WORK, i had to replace the motherboard with an nforce one then it worked fine... if u dont belive me siute urself but be warned IT WILL NOT WORK

quote "I think he's saying that the ECS Mobo with integrated ATI Graphics is incompatible with Nvidia Drivers and messes up his computer " thats what im tryin to say....

thx for letting me know that the nVidia card will not work for my computer, even though that wasn't my problem. what i was trying to say earlier was what is the difference between a 128-bit graphics card and an 256-bit graphics card. I was looking at the 7600Gt and noticed it was saying the card was 128-bit whereas the x850 was 256-bit

256-bit is much faster then 128-bit, 256 will increase fps/preformance

 

[coldpower27]

However it crucially depends how powerful the graphics core is on the 128Bit Card.

The 7600 GT is powerful enough to beat 256Bit Cards like 6800 Ultra/GT/GS. Unless you play at resolutions beyond 16x12, where these cards don't really get enough FPS anyway.

 

[BlingBlingArsch]

my guess is that the x850xt is still a bit faster than 7600gt and x1800gto, only peaking about fps comparison not sm3 and power consumption.
