Graphics card advice needed!!

[Harry5]

This subject always seems to be cropping up so I apologies in advance, Which card would you recommend I have narrowed it down to 2 the
7600 GT or the 7900 GS?
I would prefer to stick with Nvidia as i have an Nforce 4 motherboard

PCI-E or AGP?

Or just tell us the mothreboard make.

I'm guessing by the two you picked you want to spend around £150?

 

[Harry5]

Its a pci-express slot,

They are both fine cards Harry, i dont think you will notice alot of difference whether you have the 7900 or 7600.

Personally, i would go for the 7600; the suffix GS on the 7900 means its not quite the best of that certain card type... however, im sure you will hear different from other users.

Both nice cards.

But what's your budget as there's £40 difference between the two cards.

The leadtek card has more pipes, but lower clock speeds and is about £38 more than the BFG 76GT.

Out of interest whats the pc's spec?

7900 for me, newer core, more pipelines and will beat the 7600 @ stock settings.


There will be room for overclocking on both cards, but the 7600 will not match his bigger bro
