Nvidia GeForce 7600GS finally out for AGP

I get peeved when I can't run comfortably at 2048x1536 with 4xAA with everything maxed out, which the 7800GS will do with most games prior to FEAR. Bloody hell. How big is your VDU? |

Bloody hell. How big is your VDU? Not sure. Somewhere between 19 and 21 inches... I remember it was the smallest one on the market at the time that supported 1920x1080 HD resolution for video editing (letterboxed in 1920x1440). I don't think the actual phosphor resolution is quite high enough to display 2048 unique pixels across the screen (more like 1900 if I remember correctly), but the difference between 1600x1200 and 2048x1536 modes is noticeable. Unfortunately the 7800GS has a tendency to crash if I set it to 2048x1536 with max AA (8x?), which is what I had to do to get the NOLF2 benchmark to stop telling me to increase the graphics settings .

oups.com... Julie Green wrote: Actually that award goes to Gainward's 7800GS+. 24 pipelines, 512MB, overclockable to 500/1400 and beyond etc. The 7600GS would qualify as a decent runner-up. Obviously the 7800GS would be the perfect choice if it was not for a problem... The (big) problem with the 7800GS is costing 300 plus euro. The 7600GS is half that price and I bet in some month it will be near the 100 euro mark. So bottom line I do prefer to recommend a piece of hardware that costs 100 euro than 300 euro, simply cause I want the PC gaming platform to be affordable, democratic and easy accessible to all. -- Final sco Prey = 5 Half-Life 2 = 0 http://pcgames2006.tripod.com/imgmisc/prey5units.jpg http://pcgames2006.tripod.com/imgmisc/nobuy.jpg How does a STEAM LOVER define a pirate?

So any card purchased today is a waste? I don't look at it that way. By the time the new DX10 cards are out, any card out now will be considered old by cutting edge standards. DX10 is not going to be available until Vista ships. So until then there'll probably be no DX10 cards on the market. And of course when they do come out you'll probably be looking at $500 for a top end card. I think we have at lest 2 years before DX9 will be history. Hopefully. JLC |

Like mmarker said there are no DX10 cards in the market and lets not forget DX10 is not available yet and will not be until next year. So we need DX10 to be released... only next year... we need hardware for DX10... only next year and then we need games to be coded for DX10... only next year. But even next year being the year of DX10 release I still see it as mainly a DX9 dominated year... probably only in late 2008 will see DX10 being seriously used in PC Games and even so I do not believe it will be a requirement to play those games and still DX9 will be supported. So to reply to your question... 7600GS like all other GPUs currently in the market will probably only be obsolete after 2009, so don't you feel its plenty of time to justify the investment on a 7600GS? I do feel it totally justifies.

But please tell me any game currently available that only can runs in 640x480 at 10fps when using a 7600GS? There is NONE! ZERO! and you know it very well. Ok I understand you are a high-end PC Gamer that likes to run games at maximum detail but some cant afford it. This (WRONG) notion that only with max detail and max resolution can you enjoy PC Games is incorrect. So please I understand you want and your choice is high-end HW but that is not the ONLY choice for PC Gamers. PC Gamers have lots of choices and everyone should be included. Budget PC Gamers can play games and can use a 7600GS for it and will certainly not have to run ANY GAME in 640x480 at 10fps. I bet there is no game currently in the market that need to run bellow 800x600 in a 7600GS. Even the demanding Oblivion runs very well in a 7600GS so again why are you giving wrong information -- post made in a steam-free computer i said "NO" to valve and steam Want Half-Life 2 Retail Boxed version without steam? http://www.petitiononline.com/NewHL2SE/ List of Retail Boxed PC Games with Product Activation http://pcgames2006.tripod.com/pcgprodact.htm Final sco Prey = 5 Half-Life 2 = 0 http://pcgames2006.tripod.com/imgmisc/prey5units.jpg http://pcgames2006.tripod.com/imgmisc/nobuy.jpg How does a STEAM LOVER define a pirate?

Are you telling me a PC with 1GB of RAM, a 3.0GHz CPU, a 250GB HDD, a 7600GS 256MB GPU will not be enough to run "Vista" with quality including playing games? Do you need more? You'll probably need more memory. |
