Which is better??

[dazbizkit]

hi, im gettin a new graphics card and ive been looking all over the net and ive found two which i need your help on

the first is a

XFX GeForce 7600GT XXX Edition 256MB DDR3, PCI-E

Clock rate 590 MHz
Memory Clock 1.6 GHz
Chipset 7600 GT
Memory 256 MB
Bus Type PCI-E
Memory Type DDR3
Memory Bus 128 Bit

or a....

XFX Geforce 7900GT 256MB GDDR-3 PCI-E

Clock rate : 450 MHz
Dual Link DVI - Supporting digital output up to 2560x1600 : Yes
Memory Clock : 1.32
Chipset : 7900 GT
Memory : 256 MB
Bus Type : PCI-E
Memory Type : DDR3
Memory Bus : 256 MB

The 7900 should be better than the 7600 but looking up them clock speeds and memory speeds im starting to think the 7600 extreme edition is better

ive compared all of their technology together and they have exactly the same stuff(intelli sample 4.0, cineFx 4.0 etc).

im gonna get another in the future of which ever one i choose for SLi set up.

it should be obvious the 7900 is better but after seeing the specs im not sure.

About videocards, theres alot more to look at than pure clock speeds, for example the 79GT has twice as many pixel pipes as the 76GT.

79GT is the best out of them.

Ati has something called Crossfire. It's a little bit of a different setup. You need one Crossfire enabled card and a normal card.

Take a look around Here.
