Who wins ATI Radeon X800 GTO or Geforce 7600 GS

[TheRalfZer0]

I currently have a X800 GTO and I want an upgrade, is the Geforce 7600 a way to go or not, I don't have much money to afford any Geforce 8 series card...

What do you all think

 

[MrE]

It won't be much of an upgrade.

Do what I did and buy a second-hand 7900gt and give it the old 1.4v-1.5v etc volt mod, and more or less get urself a 7900GTX

 

[Nameite]

I think besides the newer features, the GS isn't much of an upgrade if u got a X800GTO...maybe even a downgrade.

Dunno how accurate it is but it might give u some idea...

Rather get a GT...I read somewhere a 7300GT DD3 overclocked can beat a 7600GS...so if u really short on cash...

btw, doesnt ur GTO overclock very well?

 

[TheRalfZer0]

I don't know how to overclock, this might be thee most dumb question ever, can you overclock pixelshaders?

 

[Nameite]

well u overclock the freqeuncy which makes the card run faster and would use the pixelshaders more? think thats how u explain it in a simple way.

google rivatuner, download it, use it to set ur card's frequency(clock and mem) higher....but google on that too just to be safe...or sell me ur card, I'll overclock it

 

[TheRalfZer0]

Thanks Nameite, will give it a go, as soon as the damn Load Shedding is over for today, darnit... (Me glds me has a laptop with 3G)

 

[MrE]

What do you want to play?

Get a second-hand 7900gt dude, or a 3850.

7600gs and 7300gt are CRAP cards at this stage.

Get a second-hand 7900gt.

 

[TheRalfZer0]

Sweetness, I wanna play UT3, moslty, also trying to make my own levels, it it keeps craping me out about Pixel Shader V2 that's not supported...

 

[MrE]

Um, ye, those cards are not going to bring you joy.

Only card that makes sense right now is the 3850, or second-hand.

 

[Rocket-Boy]

Dude, its really easy to compare them: http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_2007.html
just select the two cards and compare.

 

[Rocket-Boy]

By the way tho, the X800 GTO beats the 7600GS hands down in the tests.

Thanks man, I'll try ATITool and see what it can do for me, maybe i can rig it up some more

I'll put a room fan close to my machine and see what i can get,

 

[Nameite]

wonder how much a 8800GS will cost....

Stick with your onboard and save up for at least 8600gt.

 

[Pe-Killer]

If u really want to see witch is better go to www.gpureview.com and click on the card compare tab.

The X800GTO is prob nearly as good as the 8600GT cus my X850GT beats it.

 

[Glordit]

If you still on AGP could try a HD3650 AGP or HD3850 but or get a second hand card somewhere

Maybe, but it's still dx9, so the 8600gt is def. a better option
