7800gs (agp) vs. 7600gt (pci)

sshiftyp · September 18th, 2006, 07:03 PM

hi there,

i got this pretty low setup:
2,8ghz pentium
1gb ddr (1)
7800gs agp

im gonna buy a new rig:
3800 X2 am2
1gb ddr 2

and im still not shure about the vga card but i dont have lots of money to spend so will a 7600gt (pci) make much difference with this setup? and does the 7600gt have the same shader models and stuff?

ty,
shifty

o yeah by the way, i am reading stuff about 7600gt not suporting HD in oblivion??

Is this true.. or is this only with high resolutions? i wanna play like 1024x768 or mabey at 1280x1024?

Can i play on HD or not?

lol

Stay with your 7800GS. If you dont want him i will happy to take him from you.
Thats the best AGP card... i think...

And if you want 7600GT you need a PCI-E slot.
I dont think you have AGP and PCI-E slot's in the same mother board.

im not gonna sya with my 7800gs. and yes im gonna sell it but i live in the netherlands so that would be a problem if you want it.

but my quetion inst answered yet.. i have read some reviews in the meanwhile and i yhink the 7600gt is faster..

the reason why i aint keeping my 7800gs is because my cpu sucks (pentium 2.8ghz) and i really wanna upgrade to pci-e..

i have decided btw to go for intels e6300 dual core 2.

7600 can play oblivion at 1280x1024 as long as you tweak the ini and maybe a few options such as tree distance and turn grass off.

If you're going for a new graphics card, pick the PCI-Express (if you have a slot on your motherboard for it) over the AGP because PCI-Express is basically newer and faster. The newer cards are all going PCI-E so go that way, if not for the performance, for the future compatibility.
