Another 7300GS review

Not the best benchmarking as it doesn't compare to other cards, but 3D Avenue posted a review:

7300 GS benchmarks

I bought the MSI 256M version (1/2 height card but has VGA, S-Video and DVI output) to tide me over until it is clear which of the 7900 / 1900XTX cards end up on top. From the looks of the benchmarks, it'll do as long as I keep the eye candy turned off.

I paid $140 Singapore for the card which is around $86 US and includes 5% VAT.

The fanless card is looking like a decent candidate for a home theater PC, or for a general silent PC build.
 
Yeah - I do like the look of the Gigabyte card - does anyone reckon, based on the results that it might be just a little slower than a vanilla 6600? I wouldn't mind something like that if a) It was cheap enough and b) I could get the passive version. I'd sacrifice a little performance for a fanles card which runs relatively cool - something that a mid-range card will probably struggle to do. As far as I can tell, it would probably offer at least X600Pro/6200 NV43 performance at 1024x768, and I'd expect in games which don't rely on bandwidth as much that it might do very well for a card of it's class.
