Well I'm using a xFx GForce 7800XT APG card and the chipset is just fine. At least I can tell you that much. No smoke issues or other sundery problems.
I cant see the PCI Express version (I know its a 7600 your talking about) being that much differant as to how SH3 plays (graphics issues). Basicaly its the same chipset so you should do fine.

Hi iv got the 6600 512mb pci-express x16..iv had it since Feb....i know its not 7600 but it must be close..maybe?

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?

I dont think it will really increase his FPS. They are most likely for multiple monitors.

I run a single 7800 and it does a fine job, however I ended up deleting the sub surface textures mod as that was a bit much in harbors.

Speaking of multiple monitors... check this thing out ! http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=m...view/th2go.htm

Nice ideea with the flight-sim there .Pretty cool!
Oh and about the fps' .It probably wouldn't increase average fps' to much BUT it will have 2x the memory and 2x the memory speed so loading textures and things like you said in ports would probably have less or no effect at all.

I have the 6800GT 256 runs SH3 great.. dont get almost any slowdown

Looking forward to getting a 7800 plus a Asus physx card

I got 2x Nvidia 6600 GT Pci-x and you get FPS increase but only if the game supports SLI like COD 2 otherwise only improvement is in lack of LAG with games like BF2 if you run it on high settings with AA on

7900GTX 512mb here, SH3 runs nice'n smoothly even around ports. If i accelerate time to 1024 it burbs for about 10 secs when close to a city/port.

corvette k225 · 08-09-06, 09:12 PM

An available hard disk drive power dongles! ok what is it, as you can tell I not good at this stuff!

butch100 · 10-07-06, 11:10 PM

I just got the 7600GT AGP version and my SH3 performance
went down from an ATI 9600XT. doesen't make any sense,
12 pipes vs 4. more mem. 128/256 and I bumped my FSB
from 133/175 then bought a Volcano extreme 12 cooler for
my XP2100 and run it @ 2.3Ghz. everything else runs faster
and my benches went way up but SH3 runs like total crap so
I guess I'll be trying different drivers from Nvidea to see if
I can correct problem. Sucks cause SH3 is THE game I did
all this for!!

Hybris · 10-08-06, 12:46 AM

I run a ATI XT850 256mb it runs SH3 well if you don't go over board with extras. I say save the money and wait until you can just get a top dog video card but thats my shopping style.

Biggles · 10-08-06, 04:20 AM

Just bought the Nvidia GF 7600GS AGP, but I don't know how it is yet, since I havn't installed it yet. The cards fits in the comp, but the box that pumps around electicity in the comp doesn't give the electricity we need, which is 350 watt.
My comp. pumps around 250 watt.....
So we bought a new box....which doesn't fit!!!!!!

Now we have to get one from Dell, which is A LOT more expensive!
