7600GT or the X850XT for $150 shipped which I am getting from a person from the BST Forum here which he claims is capable of overclocking to PE speeds with the gigabyte utility (the card is this one according to him.), this stuff is going in the system in my sig. Not gonna do SLi though.
 
well I ask this because I have a $100 concession coupon for dell. And no I do not plan on playing oblivion. Just want to know which ones better thats all.

Well I have both x850xt agp

and

7600GT KO

overall , I can't tell the difference at all between the two with the current games right now. But one thing I did notice though, the 7600GT KO could be more "future" proof with games that demanded sm 3.0 + HDR. Also...the 7600GT is a bit more quiet than the x850xt agp lol. Although x850xt did fairly better on heavy shader games, especially on oblivion & fear

7600 is so quiet that it is not even funny : / and it can be powered just by the PCI-e slot only 😀

good luck man...I just got mine yesterday. It got me worried for a while (it's idle temp was at 72 C :shocked: ) after installing the new drivers...it dumbed down to 55 C ( 😕 )
 
so I should go with the PNY from Dell? total would come out to about $51 AR including tax and all. Not a gaming freak so this is good enough for me. Also is this price good for this card?
