GeForce 7600 GT or the Radeon X1900 GT ?

sorry but the 7600GT is faster than 6800GT/ultra, i have two in SLI and each one gets over 7100 3D mark '05, bearing in mind there both overclocked quite a lot

And an X1900GT is about as fast as an X1800XT. :confused:

That would pan a 7600GT so hard it's not even worth considering.

ooo wow. A single X1900GT can bust through 10k easily. As can a X1800XT.

But 3Dmark05 performance should not be why you buy a card. Even then the X1900GT will be quite a way in front of the 7600GT.

for god sake, when the hell did i once mention a X-whatever? i was refering to the post saying the 7600GT is between GT and ultra, sheesh always so quick to jump to conclusions :confused:

I said the X1900GT is about as fast as an X1800XT, which means the X1900GT pans a 7600GT very hard.

did i remotely mention anything about that or am i going loopy or something? :confused:

You said that the 7600GT is faster than a 6800GT or 6800 Ultra, I was just pointing out how that's completely moot as this thread is about the 7600GT vs. the X1900GT, not the 6800 anything. :rolleyes:

A fair comparison would be at stock speeds and in real games not 3DMark. Review of 7600 GT here which puts it around 6800 Ultra speed. 7600 GT wins in some games, 6800 Ultra wins in others-

Thats nice & all but i dont think that is what this thread was about.

Anyway, the X1900GT still blows the 7600GT (& 6800Ultra) out of the water in terms of performance.

yes i would love the X1800 but its to big mate .it to long and to wide its fan would be touching my sound card

Given this reply early in the thread why has the thread degenerated into a pointless and stupid arguement? This seems to happening more and more in here. I have to assume some people just don't actually read the whole thread they just troll through looking for an argument - GROW UP! :rolleyes:

End of rant!

Just buy a 7600 gt they're very good.

taz488 · 12 Aug 2006 at 15:13

indeed you will not be disapointed, i have it at stock speeds and it played every game that i have smoothly on max settings, (hl2, cod2, css)

rar nigle · 13 Aug 2006 at 01:36

7600gt is fast enough for me and at a good price point. The ATI ones you're looking at are at a completely different pricing bracket so it would really depend on how much you're willing to spend and how often you upgrade.

humax · 13 Aug 2006 at 04:13

Thanks for the help so far guys .this will be my last card before i go in to DX10 .so i might need to keep it for about a year .do u think that the 7600gt is a big upgread from my 128meg x800 card .

Darkwave · 13 Aug 2006 at 04:14

You'll notice a nice performance difference over an X800 128MB, but if you can stretch your budget for an X1800XT or X1900GT then I would advise it as they will cope much easier in the home stretch toward DirectX 10, keeping in mind that DirectX 10 games other than Crysis won't be showing up until later next year.

humax · 13 Aug 2006 at 04:22

i was on another forum talking to a guy who tells me that the X1800XT will fit this board .so its worth thinking about .what about everyday windows .will one card be better than the other or both about the same . i do do some video stuff on my pc from my video cam and i also have a tv card in there .so do u think i would see a differences in my window as well as games

Darkwave · 13 Aug 2006 at 04:30

Crap I forgot you were talking about the size of the board, sorry. If you don't think the board will fit then go for a 7600GT, you won't get as good performance but then again you won't get any performance from a board that won't fit.

As for Windows stuff, you won't notice any difference on the desktop unless you get Vista. The ATI cards are usually better for stuff like video encoding and TV/camera in/out jobbies due to the AVIVO technology from what I have heard though.

humax · 13 Aug 2006 at 04:33

its ok Úlfhednar . i have just found out that the X1800XT will fit this board .
