I want to purchase the evga GeForce 7600GT

but from the reviews I read, it seems it is able to work on Vista, but has some problems. Can anyone tell me their own first-hand experience with this card and vista? Or would anyone recommend me getting this for my system? I play games such as WoW and CS.

You won't be able to run DX10 games but you can Dx9 games. I know a few ppl that have the EVGA card and it's a great card...

I havent used it with Vista but it'd work. Like INTELCRAZY said it won't work with DX10 though.. Consider a 8800gts, tis only $150 more..

You'll be able to run DX10 games, you'll just have to render the dx10 stuff via software.

well i need a new video card very soon, cause my current one cant even support the games i play on lowest settings. And my budget is around $120. Id have to wait like another month to get a 8800 GTS.

The 7600GT works perfectly with Windows Vista, but I wouldn't recommend it if you want to game. Its just not worth it getting such a low end DX9 card at this stage, the technology is too obsolete. If you really want to get a DX9 card get at least the 7900GT or go for the budget 8 series cards like the 8600GT.

The first part is true, you can run DX10 games, but they will run in DX9 compatibility mode.
