I know this have been said many times before, but 6k for 7600gs is really too low. Maybe its ure OS? Crappy drivers, reg etc etc.

For my 7300gt 128mb ddr3, out of the box, it was already 10k for 3dmark03. (freshly installed windows, with very little softwares yet).

Need help deciding the following video cards. I'm not going to DIY overclocking. Anything to do with factory overclock, should be fine. My BEST budget would be less than RM500. I can stretch extra RM10-RM30. If the product is really good.

go for 7600GT better?

i think i know the problem. with your score for 7600GS is too low, i guess the main culprit is your system (ASRock 775Dual-VSTA
Kingston DDR266 256MB + Kingston DDR400 256MB (running at 266MHz). i think your's is not dual channel mode some more. plus asrock is not a performance class or motherboard

mine can hit 13xxx easily with my 7600GT (AGP version)

maybe I will try reinstall windows and see how...

Ya, my ram is not running dual channel as both ram is not identical. If I change to DDR2 1GB, could it help in the score? Just wondering...

Yes, 7600GT is better. Becoz come with higher core and mem. cock.
But actually 7600GS with DDR3 and 7600GT are using the same core type. Only diff is 7600GS DDR3 is underclock a bit compare with 7600GT. Both also hv 12 PL and 128bit, 256Mb.
If budget tight, then can try get PALIT 7600GS DDR3 256Mb 128Bit. Only sell for RM 410 or less. When u o'c it. It will become a 7600GT.

May i know what does this means :

Memory Interface 256-bit ?

Is this the same as the bitrate of the card as in this :

GALAXY NVIDIA 7600GS 256MB GDDR3 128-Bit 1.2ns

Its memory bandwidth.
Its more important than the memory size.
For example: If using same core type, same PL then, the card come with 128Mb, 256 bit > 256Mb, 128 bit.
I read from tom's hardware.

But is that Memory Interface 256-bit is the same as those that state 128MB 256bit?Cause the last time i ask around for the 9550, someone told me to get the 128bit version instead of the 64bit, and when i read about the instruction, it was stating MEMORY INTERFACE 128bit but the actual card was 64bit...Thats why i am confused.

Another example is the one stated by ghost321 before:

GALAXY NVIDIA 7600GS 256MB GDDR3 128-Bit 1.2ns with Galaxy Cooler Fan + Heat Sink + RAM Sink: RM520
Memory Interface 256-bit

Its stating two different bitrate...

Impossible.. im using this card now. Its 128-Bit.
256bit only available for 7900 series i think.

lol..i know that the 76series are all 128bit but i qoute it from the spec he stated above...

getting palit 7300GT soon..i wan to ask what is the diff between palit sonic version and non sonic version.thx

This is my second benchmark for 3D Mark 03...score higher a bit...7202...better than before 6117...but still not very good...

Edited to add: Forget to attach the result...

so weird.... how come the score still so low.
how bout try to test wiv aquamark??

How about closing all those other programs before you benchmark.

spec he stated above?u mean here or in website?must be typo error though
7300-7600 is at 128bit while 7800 and above is at 256bit..so any of u guys know which brand is the cheapest for 256bit?i'm on budget but still want with 256mb 256bit

This is the spec that i mention.Look at the bolded words and i think you will understand what i mean.I do remember last time that there is 2 different bitrate on a same card but cant really remember what difference does it make.Or maybe i remembered wrongly...

I guess the cheapest, new 256bit card on nvidia right now should be 7900GS right?around 700++?


Well, IIRC, it should be a difference between factory OC and non factory OC version...

I also dun know why... maybe I will try reinstall my windows when I free, see got increase or not...sigh...
I already close emule, msn messenger before running the benchmark...do you mean close speedfan and the VDOTool as well?

is the pricing even correct?are you sure that 7600GT is cheaper than 7600GS?maybe there's smthg wrong with the bold italic word i made..it is suppose to be 128bit..look at the name already 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 128-Bit

maybe u do remember it wrongly

yes, he is right!
Palit 7600GT is cheaper than the Galaxy 7600GS DDR3..... Or we can say it is more worth to get a Palit 7600GT than a Galaxy 7600GS.

so Palit 7600GT is cheaper than Galaxy 7600GS?sorry, my bad
