Mid-range shootout: 7600 GT v X1800 GTO - TechAmok
Mid-range shootout: 7600 GT v X1800 GTO - [hardware] 05:15 PM EST - Mar,21 2006 - post a comment Shopping for a mid-range card? ATI and NVIDIA both have new cards out in the L150 price bracket.
Bit-Tech put them up against a couple of other price-conscious moguls - last
season's high-end, the Radeon X850XT and GeForce 6800 GS.
BFG Tech GeForce 7600 GT OC: The gaming experience delivered by BFG Tech's
GeForce 7600 GT OC left us somewhat surprised and lost for words. The price of
this card is quite fantastic and it will give you a better gaming experience
than a GeForce 6800 GT, and also a heavily overclocked GeForce 6800 GS pretty
much across the board. You get all of this performance for a mere 150, which
represents damn good value for money.
Our only real concern with the card is the noise emitted by the small and whiney
cooling solution. Hopefully, we'll see board partners moving away from the
standard cooler over the next few months, because that seems to be the only
problem with this part at the moment - it could be a little quieter during heavy
gaming sessions. However, the good thing is that the pitch is consistent and the
fan doesn't continually spin up and down.
-- The contest between the GeForce 7600 GT and the Radeon X1800GTO is a close one
where performance is concerned. The reference clocked GeForce 7600 GT is
slightly slower than the Radeon X1800GTO, but BFG Tech's 7600 GT OC is fast
enough to give it a slight performance edge. Ultimately when performance is so
close, the decision comes down to price and other considerations.
The cooling solutions on both cards is far from ideal, but the cooler on the BFG
Tech GeForce 7600 GT OC doesn't consistently spin up and down during heavy load.
This is something that the cooling solution on the Radeon X1800GTO does do and
we were left a little underwhelmed by the card, especially considering the noise
it was making.
