GigaByte Radeon X850 XT Video Card

It´s good brand. Are you buying it? If you are you should consider buying 7600GT instead of it because 7600GT has newer technology and because of that it´s performance in games will last longer..
 
well i have one. i lent a friend 80 dollars and he does not have a job so he gave this to me to sell on ebay, it sells for about 120 so i could keep it and give him another 40. i dont think i would pay more then 100 for a video card so if it is worth keeping and using then i will. but if not then i will sell to get my money back
 
what 7600GT card should i get if i decide to get one or to look at prices. and what is another really good card.
 
thanks for the help i have one question though why do games go for the 7600GT cards when there is more powerful video cards out there? or is there something about the 7600GT designed for gaming?
 
Answer: They don´t specifically go fo 7600gt.
It´s just that 7600GT has pixel shader 3.0 and so do those more powerful and more expensive cards like 7900GT/GTX and X1800XT/X1900XT/XTX and .... Pixel Shader 3.0 will be used more in the future and is now used in some games...

Just compared to X850XT, 7600GT has newer technology like those more powerful cards out there...

Keep ebays selling fees in mind as well. I'd keep the X850XT.
 
the x850xt is a better card performancewise, the 7600GT is better featureswise...

the x850xt is much more overclockable, much quieter, and much cooler... except not the GigaByte X850XT, not the Sapphire either,those have loud fans... that aren't cooling effecient...
if ug et the X850XT get the HIS Hightech Radeon X850XT IceQ II... it is only about $15 more then the other X850XT but it cools way better and is very quiet
 
I thought that 7600GT is a good overclocker... But fact is that he already has that GigaByte X850XT and he kinda asks that maybe he should get 7600GT
 
well i was going to keep the card and use it becuase i just bought World of Warcraft but when i went to put in to the card it was wrong or backwards. i dont know it just did not fit with my computer. are all video cards the same way or just that one.
 
Here is AGP 8x slot: http://www.benchmark.co.yu/tests/mainboards/asus/a7ve/agp.jpg These ones are usually brown colored.

And here is PCI-Express 16x slot: http://www.upyou.it/modules/sections/images/guidaassemblaggio/assemblaggiopc-13.jpg

See how those AGP and PCI-E cards differ from each other: http://www.gb.tomshardware.com/NewsImages/2004/0000811/pic-agp-pcie-cards.jpg

And here´s also a good picture: http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/cooldrives/sata-pci-express-pci-card.jpg

All you need is figure out whether your card is AGP or PCI-E :)
