    8600GTS 3DMK06 claim

    http://itbbs.pconline.com.cn/topic.jsp?tid=6864651&pageNo=1 Foreign claim to a mark of 5488. Being true, this would put the 86GTS on range with the 7900GT/GTX. Courtesy: JayDeeJohn for the find.

    True. I overlooked that. Phew. :p

    R600 prototype pictures!

    Secondary manufacturers will shorten it. Speculating 8 or 9 inches. Interesting article that completely contradicts [H]OCP's upon power consumption. http://www.beyond3d.com/#news39176 - - AMD http://www.hardocp.com/news.html?news=MjQ0MTcsLCxobmV3cywsLDE= - [H]OCP Couldn't imagine ATI...

    Will 7800GS work in my PC?

    You may be able to handle the 7800GS; not a huge performance gain over the 7600GT but worthy if the price is right. Knowing the amperage rating on your +12 volt rail(s) (rails - because the PSU may have more than one +12v rail) is as important as peak wattage to know. If you have a +12v 1 or A...

    Bigger is not always better for a Video card.

    Bigger is better for air-flow and ambient temperature (spacing out components); especialy if you game and overclock. You could add some LEDs to make it worth looking at. ;) But I guess thats why "god" makes laptops, for people who don't want the full 'shibang'.

    suitable card only for gaming at 1440x900

    Second the 8800GTS 320. Cheaper than a X1950XT(X) even and performs better at that resolution. DX10 added, it's a no-brainer.:)

    Will 7800GS work in my PC?

    Thats quite a jump in videocards; absolutely worth it. 400 watts should do it as long as your system isn't extremely loaded. Whats really important is having sufficient amperage on your +12 volt rail(s) to satisfy the 78GS requirement.

    Card question

    The 7300GT overclocks to 7600GS performance and beyond easily, especialy for 2 year old games and back. For todays games, more pipelines helps performance, regardless of overclocking. If your looking at games like HL2 and further back, I'd buy a 73GT and overclock the hell out of it. It's cheap.

    New card options?

    FEAR on an MX440? :eek: Mainly, you need to know if you have PCI-E or AGP available. If your stuck with PCI, your gonna be bummed. And yes, the 7600GT is worlds beyond the MX440. Even a 7300GT would work wonders - at around 80 bucks.

    Upgrade Options Please

    Dude, there isn't. I took a trip to Moncton this summer and was able to cruise at 85mph without any traffic - in a large city... on a Saturday night. :eek: Loved the landscape up there, nice open long freeways. I've got a gripe though - I couldn't buy beer at a convenience store (only a liquer...

    PSU & GeForce 7600GS AGP

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817153037 Another option: Standalone - Fits in your 5.25" drive bay @ 300w peak. Powerfull enough to run SLi 7900GT's at 55$. Transferable from case to case :o

    PSU & GeForce 7600GS AGP

    The 76GS calls for 18 amps (with most brands) for those with loaded systems - it won't suck up the complete 18a. It may run on that PSU being a low power GPU, yet it may lock up. Depends on how full your system is also. I'd buy a more sufficient PSU. 400 watts with a +12 volt rail at 20+ amps...

    GF 8600 Ultra, GT and 8300 news

    Ah hah. Pays to read up. To think I almost got a 7950GX2. 512 is surely enough regardless.
