| 1201209 | 2011-05-11 06:31:00 | I only need a video card to replace my radeon 9600/x1050 as its crapping out on me. and my old radeon is only 128mb and thats slowly dieing too. For what i do on my pc, the vid cards i found on trade me are more than good enough. So go put in a bid then. |

| 1201210 | 2011-05-11 10:03:00 | the 2600 is directx 10 wheras the 7600 is directx 9. i dont have any direct x 10 games. The 7600gs also has pixel shader 3.0 support whereas my radeons are only 2.0 Last time I checked the 2600 still beat the 7600 putting aside the shaders thing (straight performance). If you play old games why do you need 3.0? So go put in a bid then. thats probably a good idea if you want the card. |

| 1201211 | 2011-05-17 10:19:00 | Ok, so i was about at the last minute on those last two. I've currently got a bid on this big motherf*cker, but i probably wont get it as the reserve is not met. www.trademe.co.nz So i have 2 backups, i would like to know if these one are better than my radeon: www.trademe.co.nz www.trademe.co.nz |

And its only shader model 2.0 I believe! If it were me, Id go for the 6600, which is a better match for the rest of your components. |

| 1201214 | 2011-05-17 22:00:00 | Is the 6600 better than my radeon? as in, will it at least be able to play the likes of Gta san andreas and Combat arms without cutting out on me? I thought that geforce 6 series was old? |

| 1201215 | 2011-05-17 22:29:00 | 6 series is very old the 6600 is a good card, just like the 7600 kicked ass for a while. You don't even want to know what I paid for my 6600 back in the day :-( | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
