@ 2006/04/28The 7600 GS is very similar to the 7600 GT, not only to look at but in
terms of specifications as well. The core is literally identical, with 12
pixel shaders, eight pixel output engines and five vertex shaders. This is
all built on a 90 micron process, keeping heat down to a minimum. This and a
reduction in core speed to 400MHz (over the 560MHz on a 7600 GT) means they
can actually make this card passively cooled. It is worth noting that this
is not a Leadtek specific thing – the reference design for a 7600 GS is
passive, so unless some manufacturer decides to put a fan on its cards to
make them “better”, all of the 7600 GS cards should be this way. This is
great, as silent cards usually come at a premium.
