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:confused:

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

I think besides the newer features, the GS isn't much of an upgrade if u got a X800GTO...maybe even a downgrade.
Found this link: http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/pcs/every-video-card-ranked-241379.php
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?

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 :p

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.

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

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

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

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