2. which one would be beter at running sh3?

Definitely 7600GS,has 512MB which helps in texture - size demanding games.Might help in SH3 with all applied texture mods and anyway - Radeon 9250 is old and slow,7600GS has more modern architecture which you'll appreciate not only in SH3.

LOL the 7600 without a doubt I got a 7600GT and was upgrading of a 9600XT there is an extreme visible difference in some games in one I managed to set High all gfx instead of Low all in my 9600XT and the 7600GT still outperformed in FPS 4 fold. Without a doubt the 7600.

Oh and if you can get a 7600GT go for that the 7600GS has 512mb of memory but can't use it all so its useless its more of a show offish kinda thing which doesn't really work. The 7600GT has higher clockspeeds and outperforms it quite visibly. Its also about $20 or so dollars more expensive.

I haven't got either of these, but its interesting to see what players prefer. :hmm:

You do know that PCI and PCI express are different right?

blue3golf · 02-25-07, 02:05 PM

I got the 7600, never had a problem with it. Got it relatively cheap too.

Whoops, moved to wrong forum. Please move thread to General Topics.

The biggest disadvantage of the 9250 is that it doesn´t support Pixel Shader 2.0, so SH4 and some other games won´t work at all.

XanderF · 02-26-07, 02:28 AM

But - again - it matters if you want a PCI or PCI-E video card.

Completely different things that are in no way related
