Hi, I just get wide tft Samsung 205BW and it's awsome. I have Asus EN6600LE 256Mb. Now I want to get a new graphic card to enjoy a native 1680:1050 ress. I do have money for 7600GT it's about 200eur here in Serbia or shuold I wait for a while and get 7900GT (330eur). Which one will do the job? Can 7600GT deal with 1680:1050 (not only everyday work like net and office but also in gaming - NFSMW, TR Legends...)? I don't want to wait longer than I have to (for 7900GT), help please. Thanks.
 
7900gt would be your best bet. I think you would just end up dissapointed gaming at that rez with a 7600.
 
it can *do* that rez but it cant do it smooth, id say the smoothest rez a 7600gt can handle is 1280*1024 in todays games.
 
yea, the 7600GT is only good for 1280x1024 in todays latest games (It can keep Oblivion above 30FPS on medium settings at 1280x1024 at least).

For the res you want to run, you'll want a 7900GT.
 
7600GT is not good for full set of options or even if you disable AA, AF....even then is not good enough?

NHO's got a good point. btw, the 7600GT is crap at higher resolutions because the memory bus is only 128 bit while the 7900 series cards are all 256-bit, so you can handle higher resolutions and AA, etc... with less of an FPS hit as the 7600GT
 
You may have the point, thanks. Here the price will be around 220-230eur. Only to find some with HDCP. Thanks.

QFT the perfect blend of the 2. The 7600GT can run 1680x1050 even with AA and AF although you are talking about a significant performance drop from the 7900GS or the GT. All in all the 79 GS or GT affords you much more longevity
 
My 7800gt (heavily overclocked mind you) performs acceptibly under no AA conditions in Oblivion. I get about 30-50fps at 1280x1024.

The 7800gt is faster than the 7600gt. Therefore, by simple analysis I do believe that the 7600gt will not perform fast enough at the higher resolution which you are interested in... At least, not acceptibly.
 
This was the hardest choice I ever had to make for some reason 7600gt or 7900gt ...I went with the 1800xt ..only cuz the 7900s were crap then. :rolleyes:

1800xt is still a damn good choice ;)

I think it was a good choice too but the smiley he left makes it seem like he wasn't happy with his choice.

No, no the eyes were for the 7900GT's a few months back that were all constantly frying themselves up
