I've got a Geforce 7600GS 256MB. The extra 256MB on that card won't increase speed, it is just marketing. the card isn't capable of handeling graphics wich would require the extra RAM. If there is a version with 256MB that is cheaper then go for that version instead since the performance would be almost identical.

The card is about as fast as a Geforce 6800. It runs SH3 well but not extremley fast. I wouldn't recommend it as a gaming card. If you want a low end gaming card then go for the 7600GT wich is as low as you should go if your'e buying a new card in these days.

Otherwise the card is working great. 2370 points 3DMark 06.

For SH3 it is ok but what other games are you playing or planning to buy? Also, what card do you have now?
