Decent choice, it should play games pretty well.

 

[robina_80]

will it play double agent, coz it needs shader model 3.0

It will play DA on medium settings or so.

the 7600 is a nice card. i have one and it plays ut2004 and bf2 very well. i play on 1280x1024 on pretty high settings

 

[jimmymac]

how does this card compare to the X850? was a toss up between the two when i changed.

 

[Jet]

The X850XT is less expensive at ebuyer.com

 

[jimmymac]

ooops my mistake, didnt spot that the card in the first post was PCI-E

carry on, nothing to see here

My 7600 helped out alot, but I just need a better processor.

The 7600GT (especially the XXX), is far superior then the x1650PRO. DO NOT buy that card!

That was a really stupid choice, the 7600GS is better then the x1650PRO, by far. So the 7600GT would be MUCH better.

And with ATI cards, it's called crossfire. Do you have a crossfire supported motherboard?

(Also, you have it listed as PCI-X in your sig, but its PCI-E )

 

[robina_80]

no lol i got the 7600gt xxx

 

[Geoff]

no lol i got the 7600gt xxx

Ok, it sounded like you got the x1650PRO. The 7600GT is a much better choice.

And as I said, it's PCI-E, not PCI-X

 

[robina_80]

yeah ok thanks for that but if i get another one and sli it how does it work does it make it more powerfull or make it into 512mb of ram

It splits the video processing between both GPU's, which can make games perform around 80% better (more or less, depending on the game). It doesn't combine the VRAM, so you still only have 256MB.

Do you have an SLI motherboard?

 

[robina_80]

yes
