Going to upgrade, which card to get?

[Matts0344]

OK, so I think something is wrong with my 7600GT so I'm going to RMA it, (how long does this usually take btw?) in the mean time, and to make sure its the card I think I'm going to upgrade to an 8600gts and then maybe have my 7600gt fixed and then sell it. Which 8600gts should I get? Are these cards ok? any major problems I should be aware of?

The 8600gt is not that much of an upgrade from the 7600gt you have currently, not sure about the 8600gts. If you want to upgrade, I recommend spending just a little more and stepping up to the 8800gts 320meg card and not looking back. Can probably get $75ish for your 7600gt card.

What brand is your 7600gt?

Its an EVGA 7600gt

Here is my topic about the problem I'm having with it btw:

8600GTS performs around 7900GS, and sometimes beat the X1950pro in shader intensive games like oblivion.

I think it would be a great upgrade, til ATi releases their cards.

I got another question, I still want to get my 7600gt fixed or replaced, so I forgot Newegg has a 1 year return policy. Am I better off returning it to Newegg or to EVGA?
