Mm, yeah, I don't do overclocking AT ALL. So it's a non-factor for me almost.

Mm okay. Thing, is if I buy a 7300 I could spend another 30€ and have a significant boost... But that means twice the price of the 5200...See my point :P The price differences seem too big for me even for noticable performance increases.

Okay thanks guys! I only found this: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core2duo-e7300-pdc-e5200_6.html#sect0 And it seems to me, in Crysis, the 5200 is just one FPS behind the 7300. In the other two games the difference is noticable, but not very big. But in two years, none of...

In gaming mostly that is. The E7300 costs 113€ The AMD x2 6000+ costs 76€ The E5200 costs 79€ The E7300 is fastest, but it seems to me it's not worth the price difference? But why should I take the E5200 instead of X2 6000? Lower power consumption? What about noise levels? I don't do...

For your information and for people who read this and wonder in the future: The card works just fine in the few games I've tried, even with my SP-400 pec (Antec 400 watt PSU). Too bad my PSU sucks :P Thanks for the help!

I play COD4 at 1024x768 at 2x antialiasing, 0 AF, 1024x768 and other settings at default (which is auto or normal quality). When they test it in places like Tomshardware they have 50 fps with 1280x1024 and 4AF and 8 antistropic and max quality. But I play my game at 20-40 fps about at my...

found this site: http://archive.atomicmpc.com.au/forums.asp?s=2&c=7&t=9354 That indicated the 6600gt actually draws MORE (48 watt max) than a 9600gso! Well, I spent the whole day looking at alternative cards to the 9600gso... thinking the gso maybe is a bit overkill/expensive for my computer...

I definitely have one of those you mentioned... Mm it's a SP-400 I'm quite sure. So, damn, no 9600 gso for me :( My 6600 gt is still broken and I need a new card... what could my computer manage then unless getting the same damn model?

Yeah, just edite my post above for that. I have a Antec 400 watt... The XFS 9600 gso says it needs a 400 watt PSU? But does that mean it ALONE needs that much? No power left for my other equipment ehhh?

thanks, I'll probably get a 9600gso I assume pcie 2.0 works with my 16x pcie mobo. BUT the XFX 9600 gso site specifies that it needs a 400 watt PSU. I have one, but does the card ONLY need 400 watt? I mean other parts need to function too!

Yes, my computer is old, but I still would like to play some newer games (GTA4 etc.) at lower graphics, as well as some older ones at better performance than now (like Oblivion/Half Life 2 for example). It has a 6600 gt now... which turned black yesterday! And 1024 ram. Been thinking...
