7300le Vs 6600

[bball4life]

It's just that i have expalained it over and over again.

I have the advertisment on my desk right now... It's a BFG Tech 3F fusion card 7300LE

Not to mention i bought one, and it said 7300LE on the box.... it just had a 6200 inside, which i dont even know how that would happen during manufactoring.

Hmm thats really weird, ya just take it back tomorrow and hope they believe, fry's tends to be pretty good with that stuff though.

Yeah, I'm hoping they will be fine with it, since its still sealed in the wrapper and everything, i'm going tonight to return it. i'll see what happens.

Oh ya if its sealed it should be no problem, I thought you took it out, well tell us how it performs when you get it.

i took it out of the box, if the whole box was sealed i know it would be fine, but its still sealed in the anti-static wrap, I don't know about the frys near you(or if its the same one even) but at times they can be picky about returns, i retuened a 200 CD wallet once to get a larger one(for a friend) and they opened it up and actually counted the pages jsut to make sure one wasn't missing.

Oh lol, thats interesting, it should be ok if you still have the shrink wrap and stuff though.

The vanilla 6600 is quite significantly better than the 7300LE. You'd be better to get another.

Well i got the 7300LE, with the 7300LE inside, havn't done anything with it yet, besides listin to the loud fan on it...

Here's a comparison of the two cards.

I would guess the 7300LE because it has a better GPU compared to the 6600, not to mention it has turbocache, which is a plus.....

Turbocache is horrible compared to on-board memory. Turbocache uses a mix of system memory and on board.

I think he just meant becuase they both have 128MB except the 7300 has TC to make it able to use 128 of system ram also.
How do you turn TC on anyways?

The 7300LE does seem to perform less then the 6600.

Hey, I see you live in mission, are you a Diablo, or a Hawk?

Diablo..... Can't believe we lost to Mater Dei..... I don't think we can play them anymore either....

6600 is much better than 7300LE, and it is even better than 7300GS


here are list of 7300 and 6600 series from worse to best

6600LE~7300LE
7300GS
6600
7300GT
6600GT

Heh, I thought the 7300LE would be better purely because it's a higher processor model......
