I agree with shinjite, the most important part is how well the GPU architecture been develop and we user make use of it.

Im thinking either 7600GS or 7600GT, but prefer a card with DDR3. Some of the 7600GS has either DDR2 or DDR3. Not sure whether the 7600GS is better choice since the price different is around rm100 with both having DDR3.

haha...temporary only, it seems stable but after i prime it, red stop message right after few minutes.

I still looking the max prime stable speed. Right now just 45minutes priming on 3.15GHz, if can last till morning, then i try up a bit. Hopefully can reach to 3.2GHz. VDimm is not an issue like what Shinjite said. 533MHz cpu like my case using 1:1 still not yet touch ram 200MHz. i wish my cpu can reach 200fsb. haha......still in dream

7600gs ddr3 and 7600gt different rm100?? i still wonder that our 478 system can fully utilize 7600GT or not. If not then get 7600gs will be a better choice. Thats my opinion.

3.2 Ghz should be okay
Are you using PAT technology too? if yes, maybe you can increase the Vdimm a bit for stabilizing purposes

I juz have a glance through on the Palit 7600GS, indeed the card equip with DDR3 and yet the price different is around rm80 between 7600GT. The drawback is lower clock and core speed.

Imagine if you can run sync 1:1 ratio at 200Mhz, guess your proc can sapu us all.

DDR2 and DDR3 just have difference on the bandwidth only. Higher speed of the RAM = more bandwidth. Getting more bandwidth on the video card can boost the gaming experience. To get DDR2 or DDR3 is depending on you already.For my opinion,the best is to get DDR3 for maximum gaming experience.

my mobo max only 2.68 and currently using it. Now using PAT. but once the fsb over than 190, it will auto turn off. Currently searching for max prime stable speed with c2 ram setting.

80 different. i rather get 7600gt.

i think the chances is not there. max speed i manage to reach is 3.45GHz, at 3.5GHz it stop me load into windows.

Just prime last night and it stable at 3.15GHz. Tonight try 3.2GHz

u can save up your rm80 then oc your 7600gs...it got ddr3, suppose can get gt speed....

find out whats the clockspeed for the 7600GT, then clock ur GS to GT speeds

If the ns of your GDDR3 is the same with the 7600GT, expect it to clock as well as the GT version

but ddr3 agp quite hard to find. especially the 7600gs.

so far, i only know palit do produce 7600gs DDR3....dunno other brands....

whoa can reach up to 3.45Ghz?thats great man btw what are the temps at that speed?

hmm if your P4P800x can reach a 1Ghz OC mine should be able too..i'll be damn happy if i can get to 3Ghz prime stable.maybe im missing out on something

btw kabukiawie,when you oc,do you use small steps(100mhz at a time etc) or just straight away go to 3Ghz for example?from stock lah i mean.

I go straight from 2.4 to 3.15Ghz and test
Then go up to 3.24Ghz and test

whoaa so much increasement.hmm.i should try that.maybe it'll work shall try to straight go to 3Ghz see whether can boot into windows or not

temp at 3.4is 55load, 42+idle i think. didnt really check as it fail prime in minutes.

i use 10fsb increment. quite fast can reach the limit. as long as it can boot, straight up till it fail. then down 5 fsb and try to boot into windows. if can go on then try bench sandra, superPI to see the performance.

then slow slow test the performance, run programs to check2 the stability. The best run prime, clock down 1fsb at a time till can prime stable for few hours.

above is the 1st time i try on stock vcore and stock hfs, last time can reach 3.2GHz but reduce till 3GHz due to failing prime. after changing HFS, testing from 3GHz, up to 3.45GHz, fail to boot at 3.5GHz i think i have to play around with divider to get the highest clock.

oc really time consuming...haha.....thats the fun part.

time consuming and frustrating as well at times

haha....right, really frust when have to pull down coz not stable.

my most frustrating 1 is to test various setups to stabilise the rig at high speeds, from Vcore to Vdimm to timings to ratios

wa, 5.09am.

i have to play around with divider soon. haha.....it will take some time.

the most frustrating part is that you can even get a decent stable oc(or should i say slight oc) even when you think all are well

for your case its a bit weird that you cant oc even you have such good HFS and PSU.

try set the vdimm to max and up the fsb bit by bit. change divider to 1:1 and up vcore may help i think.
