Well, it does say "SLI Supported: Only support software SLI and not hardware SLI"

That's a 7600GTS. But you shoulda just said a "crippled 7600GT"!

Can I assume because it says "Software SLI", that's the only difference? Core speed and memory speed are the same as usual 7600GT cards.

BFG True GT (slightly overclocked) card for the same price (larger rebate).

Why would you want to SLI such a card anyway?

Same reason why people get an Athlon 64 3500+ Venice instead of a 3000+ and just overclocking it 😉

Preference, hobbies, collections... who knows.

Don't forget performance! LOL! Maybe not. But if you could get a hand-me-down card...

Because just as how you could overclock the 3000+ to 3500+ speeds, the 3500+ can be overclocked too. It ain't the same thing. Anandtech once said that dual card solutions are great for those that are not satisfied with what the single fastest cards have to offer, as they can expand upon it. But in the mid range and lower, it's better to buy a single faster card for what you would pay for two slower mid range ones.

In all likely hood your performance will be far better. Never mind the fact that pushing two cards needs a better PSU, more wattage, and a more expensive SLI motherboard. Keep it for the ultra high end.

Guys, it's pointless to say what this card is or what it isn't at this point, with no official confirmation from eVGA yet. The specs are completely up in the air. If you aren't convinced of this, look at pictures of the card and then read the listed specs. There are three discrepancies that I see instantly.

And, we don't know the pipeline count. Most likely it's a 12 pipe card just like the 7600GS and 7600GT, but it could also be a cripple. Hold judgement until either eVGA says something, or someone bold enough to buy one gets his and reports back.

OP, you need to edit your title. This is not a 7600GT, as it will likely have differences to a normal 7600GT that we don't know yet, and as such, that makes your title somewhat misleading.

Newegg also has a BFG 7600GT for the same price after a $30 rebate. ($144.50 - $30.00).
