As much as we love testing and talking about the latest innovations in PC graphics, it's only a fraction of the gamers market that can truly enjoy these high-end products as soon as they come out of the oven because of its high prices.

It's not a surprise then that the bulk of Nvidia and ATI sales for videocard upgrades are in the segment between $100 and $200, this is also what we call the mainstream market. For this article we have narrowed down such segment to cards below the $150 mark, where the obvious contenders, Nvidia and ATI have laid down two products that go head to head: the long dominant GeForce 7600GS, and the recently launched Radeon X1650 Pro.

Please leave your feedback here. Thanks!

Hmmm, the only thing the X1650 has against the 7600 seems to be the age of the card.

Great review.

My personal conclusion, is that the Geforce 7600gs is the best choice. Cheaper, and performs almost the same as the X1650PRO.
Probably, the X1650XT will change that, with its 8 pixel pipelines, instead of just 4.
