6800GS SUPER vs 7600gt

[korrupt]

Simple question, hopefullly a simple answer.

Should I go for the 6800GS or the 7600GT? 6800 is slightly more expensive. Both cards are from Gigabyte.

Here is a bit of a comparison between the two:

personally the I would go with option c

kinda confusing (commas?) how ya put it but:
the 7600 seems to have better spec apart from 12x1x5, 22.4 and 128 I would still choose that though as what it does beat the 6800 on it beats it on pretty well

 

[korrupt]

Thanks for your reply,

I will fix up the post with specs.

Any other opinions?

looks much better

can I change my mind hehe - the 6800 has a better memory spec. both are nice in comparison to my card though

 

[korrupt]

Thanks, is there a real difference though? The 7600gt is silent though... So if there isnt a lot of difference, I'd prefer that.

The high core clock of the 7600GT will come in handy, im getting a 7600GT but not silent, im getting the 20$ cheaper one lol.

I'd pick the 6800. It's faster, and has a 256 bit bus.
But probably the newer Geforce 7 architecture is better than the Geforce 6 architecture, so probably there isn't too much diffence between the two.

Just keep something on mind. Since you want a silent card, they tend to get pretty hot, so you'll need very efficient case cooling. :hotbounce

I think dont quote me on that
buy higher memory banwidth means youll get better fps @ a hitgher resolution

 

[korrupt]

Thank you for everyone's reply.

found some tests done with a few graphics cards, the 7600 seems to be in the list.

seems like a lot of people have been comparing and people are choosing the 7600 but also saying to spend a little more and get the 7900
