Wow, so some cards really do suck at gaming

you dont need to play at 4589420859240*582490853920 with 192x AA to enjoy a game


~35 fps at 1024*768 with 8xAF (what the 7300gt gets) is perfectly playable and will look great

Yeah, upon closer examination it would be pretty nice. That's 35fps in the indoors environment. I think when you're outdoors the frame rate is a lot lower.

7300GT does not suck for the vast majority of gamers out there who aren't playing eye-candy intensive games such as Oblibion or F.E.A.R.

Well, that would be fine, but with keeping on topic and using the chart referenced in the first post, it shows the 7300GS gets 9 fps at 1024x768.

Not sure how far the core will go, but the memory will probably only go to 900.

I installed a 7300GT GDDR3 in another computer, and overclocked it to 640/1560. That's a huge difference from 350/667. Gets 60fps in the F.E.A.R benchmark at 1152x864 with everything on except volumetric lighting low, texture mediums (the card is the 128MB version, the game will warn you if you set it to high), SS off, and 4xAF. Factory speed is 520/1400, and gets 48fps with the same settings.
