Crisb92 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Nvidia (MSI) 7600GT AGP 512MB DDR2 560/800 FTW! Yeah woo It gets up to at least 30fps outdoors in Oblivion, and runs my selection of games fine at 1680x1050. But that doesn't stop me wanting my new, delayed, 8800GT rig, or 9800GT, or 10800GT, or whatever it is by the time I actually buy it. BTW, does anyone know how an 8600M GT 256MB DDR2 would perform compared to the 7600GT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTerminator2004 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 It would perform much worse, I think Crisb. Half the memory, and lower clock speeds, so theres no way it could outperform it. You'd have to look up the exact speeds to know just how much worse it would be compared to the 7600GT, though. I do find it odd, however, that your 7600GT has much faster clock speeds than both the 8500 and 8600 series. I wonder why nvidia did that...

Crisb92 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Thanks for that Terminator. I don't know why Nvidia did that, it may be the same as the 3870/8800GT that higher clock speeds don't necessarily mean it performs better. But I really have no clue.

southernbuilder Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Nvidia 8800 GT 1 GB from Palit..... I just got it this week and wow.. good stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTerminator2004 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 As a rule, with games, higher clock speeds usually have a much better performance impact than memory, at least as far as games are concerned. So I expect it's mostly an entirely new card, based on the 7600 chipset... at least, that's my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WITHTEETH Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Ultra-clocked 8800GTS, wish I had gone for the GTX now because I recently aquired a 24'' monitor where the native resolution is 19001200. For 1600x1200 the GTS pretty much resembles the GTX in benchmarks, but above that resolution you start seeing a larger difference. Ho hum, thankfully the games I'm playing aren't too taxing at the moment :)I just bought a 8800GT Superclocked from EVGA. I will probably run at much lower resolution though, so i should be fine. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenxander Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Clock speed is usually important. I have SLI 7600GT 256MEGS in this config, along with 3gigs memory and (at the time oblivion came out) a decent processor (though by today's standards AMD 3800+ 939 isn't exactly 'hip'), Oblivion runs very well at 1200 x 750 resolution (or whatever the reso is close to that (1200 x 800? .. something like that?). the default settings were "High" when it auto-checked and my FPS drop to about 20 when things get hectic and are at 30 - 50 normally.

MRG Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I bought an old 6800 Ultra from my brother in law a year or so ago for $50. It was an upgrade from my 9800 Pro. I'm so used to lower performance, I don't really notice the skippyness anymore, unless the FPS drops down into the teens that is. As for Oblivion, I have all the sliders to the right & running at 1024x768. No Grass shadows, everything else on. As far as i'm concerned, I get just fine FPS overall. -MRG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Mine is some kind of downgraded version of the 128 mb Radeon 9700 from Dell. ... Don't laugh! :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
