Is it better to buy a 2600PRO or a 7600GT or 7600GS graphics card now?

Performance: The D9 performance of the 8600GTS is inferior to that of the 7900GS and X1950GT, and the D9 performance of the 8600GT (DDR3 version) is basically equivalent to that of the 7600GT (slightly higher); The performance of the 2600Pro (256M, DDR3 version) is lower than that of the 8600GT (DDR3 version) and higher than that of the 8500GT (DDR3 version), and the 7600GT has wins and losses, but considering the compatibility of N cards, the 7600GT wins. The performance of the 7600GS (DDR3 overclocked version) is lower than that of the 7600GT, so it is basically equal to the X2600PRO (DDR3 version).

However, the DDR2 version of the 7600GS that is not overclocked (the performance is not even as good as the high-frequency DDR3 version of the 7300GT) is lower than that of the DDR3 X2600Pro.

Price and supply:2600ProThe price has dropped to the bottom,Now the DDR3 version of the channel2600Pro has fallen to399 yuan,And 7600GT is 490 yuan (high frequency 7300GT is 390 yuan),7600gs has been out of stock。 Therefore, the 2600Pro, which has the same performance as the 7600GT, is currently the most cost-effective.

Compatibility: N card is the best, but after more than half a year of baptism, the driver of the 2600Pro should also be mature.

So I recommend 2600

2600pro is the best, 7900, 1950 have been discontinued, and 7600 is not necessary.

The 7300GT and 7600GS graphics cards are not strictly regulated by NVIDIA, so there is a wide variety of specifications on the market, in addition to the standard frequency, there are also more cost-effective overclocked versions, and it is these overclocked versions that make the 7300GT and 7600GS have such a high level of attention.

On the one hand, with the new round of graphics card price reduction, the overclocked version of the 7300GT and 7600GS have been almost the same as the price of the previous lower-frequency version of the graphics card; On the other hand, the performance of the overclocked version of 7300GT and 7600GS has been greatly improved, and it has the strength to catch up with the previous specification graphics card. For example, the performance of the overclocked version of the 7300GT is close to 7600gs, and the performance of the overclocked version of the 7600gs is close to that of 7600gt.

Aside from the core frequency and memory frequency, the main difference between the two series of graphics cards is the number of pixel rendering pipelines and vertex shading units, 7300GT and 7600GS pixel rendering pipelines are 8 and 12 respectively, while vertex shading units are 4 and 5 respectively, if the core frequency and memory frequency of the two graphics cards are the same, the pixel rendering pipeline and vertex shading units are directly related to the performance of the graphics card, The difference in the number of pixels in the render pipeline gives us an idea of the performance gap between the two graphics cards.

7600gs and 7600gt are the same both in terms of core and specifications, the only difference is the difference between the default core frequency and the memory frequency, but at present, as the frequency of the 7600gs overclocking version is getting higher and higher, it has slowly approached the default frequency of 7600gt, and we have bought a piece of 7600gt with 7600gs**.
