BF2S Forums A few questions about nVidia 7600 GT..

Welcome in 2006! Enjoy your stay.

Yeah tbh, I have this card too, it was good yes. Back in december 06'. But tbh, don't bother buying it now as your system won't even use it too its full potential and its just an outdated card.

EDIT: As for another card in that pricerange, there are NO good ones, and even if there were your CPU + RAM would limit it

Yeah, I listened this morning as well.
So what if I have an old computer.

It's just stupid. If you've got nothing decent to say, could you kindly piss off?

No, not /thread, because getting all that would include having lots of moneys. I, on the other hand, am getting a christmas present. The limit was £125, and I thought there's no point in getting a medium-top range card and not being able to use it well, so I thought £50 card would be better.

But thanks for the advice on price, performance etc.

Exactly, thats why i said to get better performance an entire upgrade would be neccessary, you won't be able to substantially upgrade your pc with £125, your best bet is going for a 7900GT rather than the 7600, its under £125 and will be better.

This?

I'm just wondering, is there any point in spending so much more if my processor won't be able to use it to what it could do?

No, try This.

Bus type: PCI Express

Need AGP

Ok, let me put in this way.

You have AGP
You have a P4 2.4 GHz
You have 2 GB DDR Ram (Well, 256MB just now, 2 gigs at Christmas )
And want to ''upgrade'' to an 7600GT AGP

Well, its an complete waste of money.

Save up money, and buy an complete new PC.

how about this 7800 GS 256MB DDR3 AGP? for £69.99 inc. VAT...?

I use a 7600GS. I'm not sure which one's better but I've NEVER had problems with mine.

I play BF2 with 7600 GT, on High but with no shading/AA shite. However E6300 @ 2.45Ghz, 2Gb Corsair 6400.
Crysis demo on Low, with maybe one or two Med settings (playable).

Well, depending on the core of the CPU, that graphics card could be a good buy. If it's a Northwood or Prescott512/1M, the CPU might bottleneck a bit, but not much. If it's a HT enabled Northwood/Prescott2M, then you'll have a very good combination. I'd recommend the 7600GS over the GT in your case, though.

I run on a P4 3GHz, 2GB RAM and a heavily overclocked 7600GS. BF2 maxed, 4xAA. Only drops below 40FPS in heavy smoke scenes.

TL;DR: Get a 7600GS and another GB of RAM. That'll get you an almost decent system.
