ripken204 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 The 7300GT isn’t crap at all, if armed with GDDR3 it will outrun a 7600GS (but there are just a few with GDDR3). Cool thing about both cards is that the can be passively cooled and are sold original that way too.My choice would be the 7600GS... fan less if you can .EDIT: And I saw that the 7900GS dropped in price too, almost the same price as the 7600GT, keep it in mind .thats why i said to not get the gddr2 version...

BombaTwist Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) the thing is i dont really care about DX 10 coming out soon and having a good video card for it. im only a casual gamer, but don't get me wrong, its not that they are bad offers for like the 7900gs. its just something i wouldn't really need. the only games i play are counter-strike, and maybe some strategy games(starcraft, etc). so yea, its basically a temporary card i don't want to spend much on. maybe until i get a job which probably would be sometime next year ;p.btw, i might get the eVga 7600gt that ripken posted.i also like to do some video editting for fun and like to turn up some settings like aa/af, and because i posted that one Biostar 7600gs was cause it has 512mb and a friend of mine told me it would be good for me if i made some videos, like counter-stirke videos for example because the card would be able to process it smoothly, but im guessing the 7600gt will just be the same?

puntoMX Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 To capture video’s from your games doesn’t need video RAM, where did you friend get that from? The 512MB is mostly used for Z-buffering and textures... and you will see almost no difference between a 256MB or a 512MB card when it comes to the 7600 series, not even if they were 128MB (Not that I have seen any, but still) .

BombaTwist Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 hmm i guess there is not much of a difference then.hmm, i just read alot of reviews that say that the gs actually run better than the gt, but then i read alot of reviews that say that the gt run better than the gs. So i really get confused there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 GT is always more powerful than GS. Recording video has nothing to do with the video card unless you are thinking of something like VIVO. More Video Memory only helps from what I understand at increasing resolutions / texture sizes.

nmX.Memnoch Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 The only difference between those two cards is that one is dual DVI and the other isn't. Other than that, the specs are exactly the same.BTW, they're both SLI capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
