Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.
BIG is not dirt cheap, at the moment it is priced at par with others, more or less the same.
Also who says that it has to lack in performance, it might by 2-3% and it might not, depending upon the manufacturer, similaryl you can't say whether it ocs well or not, 7600GT acc to techtree ocs and to me that much oc is not very less.
leadtek 7600gs is for 6500+tax
most/all geforce 7 cards are for pci e, very few may be for agp, one is 7800GS around 18k, not worth it imo.
Games like Hitman 4 and SC are pretty intensive and do need atleast a decent system. Even to play at 800*600 especially with an athlon 2800 class cpu you should get atleast 6600GT class graphic card if not higher, even with that many/some things might be on low. also you should get atleast 1gb ram, anything below is very little imo. Upgrade the entire thing is possible ASAP.
For your budget you won't be able to get a card which completely suits your requirement. At best a geforce 6600 non GT and there is huge performance difference between the two. You have absolutely no choice but to extent your budget to get 6600GT or higher, and preferably 6800GS/GT.
6800GS class if available may be around 10k or so.
With a 6600GS, 128mb or 256mb won't manke any/much diff, but with a 6800GS/GT it probably would. Get 6800GS/GT 256mb or 6600GT 128mb/256mb.
I am not sure whether ddr 2 7300gt equals a 6600gt or not, but a 7300GT GDDR3 may easily beat it, maybe even by avg of 20%!
