San Anzeas Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 TheseLeadtek graphics cards are very good deals!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forfit Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 So you have a PCI-E mobo i take it? (must since everything you posted was pci-e) So that would be good. Are you going to be using it for gaming/browsing the web/multimedia/everything? I suppose you can't go wrong with a 7 series nvidia card, if you can spare a few more dollars maybe get a 7600gs or even a 7600gt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give us a price, we shall find you the best card for that price. Everything he posted is between about $60-90 USD...but yes give us a more definitive price range.

Spenc938 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 I actually have changed my mind on those cards, I don't want any of those. I am looking to spend up to about $160. I have found some new ones that seem nice. Leadtek What is the difference between this one, and this one? eVGA PNY XFX Could you guys tell me which of these is the best? The Sapphires seem to have really high clock speeds, are those any good? Also if there is any better ones in my price range (up to $160) please post links.

Forfit Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 (edited) According to the specs of those ATI cards they sound really good...not sure how they are in benchmarks though compared to other cards. I would say go with the 7600GT. Either way i don't really think you can go wrong. Oh, and companies that make good cards are Evga, Leadktek, XFX, not sure about ATI.

Spenc938 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 Well, I will probably go with the EVGA 7600 GT. But before I do, any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forfit Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I've read some other forums and tried to find benchies and stuff...it sounds like the 7600GT is the way to go. And i own an EVGA card it's nice so you should be happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spenc938 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 Ok that's what I'll do. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Zephyr| Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I can back up the 7600GT too, I bought one about 2 months ago, and it has never let me down. I play recent games (NFSMW, BF42, BF2, COD2 etc etc...) all at highest resolution and with full detail setting on.... no problems at all! You will be happy with this card.

Cran. Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 You wont get any better than a 7600GT at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spenc938 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Just one more thing, is there any difference between these two? EVGA GeForce 7600GT KO EVGA GeForce 7600GT CO They are the same price, but is there any difference performance wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cran. Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 The KO is overclocked a slight bit, and it faster. Go for the KO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spenc938 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Sorry about the bump but I was finally buying my card and I saw these others, X1600 Pro X1600 Pro XFX I know that the clock speeds are much slower than my other choice but they all have twice the memory. Please help quickly as I wanted to purchase one today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
