Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading my 6800 Ultra for something newer which
draws less current,doesn't require 2 power connectors and produces a lot
less heat. I have to stick with AGP for the moment which really limits my
options so I was thinking of the Evga e-geforce 7600 GT 512M superclocked
card. I can't find much info on this card even on the Evga site but I do
know it only has the 12 pipes instead of the 16 of the 6800 but the clock
and mem run much faster so I'm wondering how they compare performance
wise. I can get the 7600 GT for $169 Cad and think I can get at least $80
Cad for my 6800...does this make sense?

Rob.



7800GS AGP 256M, kicking around $150(US) Newegg. Expect a 75% increase
over your 6800 Ultra in 3DMark 2006.

I was looking at the BFG 7800GS today and almost bought one but I wanted to
check reviews first and see what replies I got. Based on the reviews and
what you said It looks to be the perfect upgrade for me so I'll be picking
one up tomorrow,thanks.
