Finally ready!

the 7600 is probably on par or darn close to the x850xt. you can compare the stats all day long: in the end, the 7600gt is going to be quieter, run cooler, and have some* newer features that will help you enjoy newer games and games to be released. plus you can get another at some point and sli them


here's a good comparison

Not correct.

X850XT:
16 pp
520 core
1080 memory
6 vertex
X1800GTO
12pp
500 core
1000 memory
8 vertex

http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=55&card2=386

Look at the:
Memory Bandwidth
Shader Operations
Pixel Fill Rate
Texture Fill Rate
Vertex Operations

X850XT owns the X1800GTO on everything except vertex operations, and the X1800GTO doesn't win then by much.

ummmmm just my 2 cents.im also about to buy a new card to upgrade from a 9550 radeon.something i havnt seen anyone mention besides all these hardcore specs that are always helpful is that the x1000 series has avio software thats going to have over 1 billion colors.in addition to that there is also the adaptive anti aliasing to quote the official ati site"Radeon X1600’s 90-nanometer process technology and ultra-threaded architecture combine power and efficiency to optimized support for Shader Model 3.0 and deliver new high dynamic range visual effects, enhanced realism with adaptive anti-aliasing"

i was originally looking at the x800 series and while the unlockable 4 pipelines are tempting i am pretty sure they dont support shader 3.0,avio,and adaptive antialiasing.

in my case and yours in a value minded search for an awesome vid card the x1600 is much more appealing to me because it has the latest software and honestly the x1000 series hasnt even begun to be really overclocked yet while the x800 series has been pushed to the limit.

im waiting for any replies too

New Topic = New Thread. Particularly as you need an AGP card, whereas he's looking for a PCI-E.

Don't rely solely on those for an indication of performance. Real world performance is the most important thing, and the 7600GT tends to beat out the X850XT in this regard.
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2006/03/21/bfg_7600_gt_oc_ati_x1800gto/8.html

Also, the 7600GT has the advantage of a single-slot design, runs cooler, uses less power, and is not as loud as the X850XT.
 
And 7600GT has pixel shader 3.0 support wjile X850XT doesn´t..

7600GT will presevre its power in games much more longer than x850XT cause all the games now/near future are going to have PS 3.0 and also run smoother and better looking with 7600GT...
 
yaa i think i might go for the 7600gt, THX FOR ALL DA HELP, but also is the SLI gonna matter, as in will it not preform as well as its made for SLI or will it be just as good, and wuts with the two DVI ports, will it work with a plain ole CRT monitor or will i need a converter?
 
You will probably need a DVI-VGA converter for that. It might come with the card, if not they're cheap. And have you decided on the PSU yet? Cause I could get a list.
 
My advice: Don´t go with SLI cause it just robbs your money.

The performance difference is almost only in high resolution gaming... So just sell your 7600GT and buy a new SINGLE card in a coulpe of years...
