[boltizor]

ati saph x800gto pci-e 256mb

nvidia 7600gs pci-e 256mb


if only one of these 3, and no others, which would you pick?

 

[otispunkmeyer]

7600GS

 

[BassBomb]

7600GS... but get a 7600GT

 

[boltizor]

thanks guys, but no GT, its about 80$ more where i go, not right now, stop suggesting that card.


i was looking at the pics on here:

and looking at the vid card, it doesnt look like my dell monitor will fit? the plugs look different, any ideas?

 

[hardwareking]

out of the three i'd go with the 7600 gs.

 

[CyborgNinja117]

7800gs FTW

[akshayt]

a flashed x800gto to x800 or x850 if it can will be much faster than any of those cards, but it won't have sm3 and hdr

 

[secretanchitman]

7600GS. newer technology, and better drivers (IMO).

 

[josh6079]

7600GS

 

[HamburgerBoy]

7600GS.

Or you could go to Ncix and get the 7600GT even cheaper (after rebate).

The card comes with adaptors.

7600GS or the x800gto with the x850xt mod

 

[hans030390]

7600gs, but it would be a lot better to fork over a little extra for the 7600gt.

the x1600pro is pretty crappy. Usually a 6600gt outperforms it.

The x800gto will lose to a 7600gs, and will get owned by a 7600gt...plus its just older hardware with older features.

So go with the 7600gs, gt if possible.

7600GS or the ati modded. depends on whether you feel comfortable about flashing your card.

Are their any guarantees that the GTO will mod? Or is it a crapshoot?

Basically a crapshoot, although if it doesnt mod, I'm pretty sure you'll still get some good OCs

And basically, the GTO's start @ ~$100, but the X850XT's start at ~$135 AR, so why you would bother with the GTO is a mystery to me. This isn't even touching the used market, which is quite good for the X800 series parts and none-existant for the newer hardware.

the 7600gs is also passive so there's another reason you should go with that in addition to its technology

I definitley would go with that 7600GT from NCIX, because it's only $176 CAD after rebates, and is much better than any of those 3 cards listed.
