Great review!!! :ws:

Nice to know SLi 2x 6600GT can perform as well as 7600GT. :) Any plan for testing XF 2x 1600 XT

Suggestion: why not include World of Warcraft FPS comparison for the mid-range graphics cards? With around 5 million people playbase, it's definitely the mainstream game on the market. It would be extremely interesting to see what kind of FPS do these cards pull off at different resolutions/AA/AF.

Love this site. A lot of objective reviews of important topics that other sites ignores.

All hail Jmke for writing the texts and the graphs :)

:hello: welcome to the forums vitaminc, can World of Warcraft be played offline? because if not, it will be very hard to create a repeatable test scenario.

7600GT is the best buck per performance for the less demanding gamers. piotke, nice work :)

Nope it can't be played offline, and I think it would require FRAPS to record and calculate the frame rate. ><

fraps is not the issue, but the every changing gameplay world is :) very hard to create a repeatable test scenario

Nice review.

Looking closer at the video card I discovered a missing resistor close to the PCIe connector
It's a SMD-capacitor ;)

I picked up a Chaintech 7600GT after reading the review for $150 -






Doom3 Ultra setting 1280x1024 = ~103 FPS :)
