Anyone want a 7600GT pci-e graphics card?

[northwind]

I've decided to get myself a new card for my birthday, so if anyone wants a Leadtek 7600GT 256mb pci-e card, it'll be looking for a new home... I've got a Zalman ZF700 cu cooler for it as well, which I've fitted to make sure it'd fit, but never actually run since I didn't have the right power connector. It's got the box, the drivers (including the rotten Winfox toolkit, but you don't want that- I think I have the nVidia driver set including the OC tools on a CD,but if not they're downloadable) and I think Sam and Max and Trackmania Nations.

Not the most powerful card in the world, but it'd be a good step up from a 6600GT or 6800GT... It overclocked nicely too and had clock speeds higher than the XFX XXX which is the fastest factory-clocked card out there without running hot or artifacting. It'd be cooler still with the Zalman fitted, or you could happily run it stock. They're low heat and low drain too, so if you've got a limiting system like a Dell case/psu it'll work just fine (I've got it in a Dell with a 305W PSU)

They're £100 new from Overclockers, though no guarantee that a new one would clock this well That'd be with the buzzy standard fan too. I'd take £50 for it, or £60 with the Zalman, plus p&p.

Overclockers say this:

... I just bought one yesterday!!!!!!! Ok, it's a XFX XXX Edition, factory overclocked with lifetime guarantee...

If it'll run Quake 4 OK, then I'd be interested - my current card can't cope

What are you other specs? Processor speed, memory, etc? The 7600GT will cope with Quake 4 just fine, dunno about the rest of the computer though.

I don't have quake 4, but from the looks of it, it'll eat it alive. Quotes from Sharky's, http://www.sharkyextreme.com/hardwar...211_3615856__6

"Quake 4 is one of our most demanding benchmarks, and the Albatron 7600GT 256MB seems to be an exceptional card for this game. It manages to outperform both the GeForce 6800 Ultra and Radeon X1800 XL at standard detail settings, while the GeForce 7800 GT is obviously in a class of its own. "

That benchmarking's for a slow-clocked GT as well. I have absolutely no idea what's being measured here... Frame rate? Seems pretty high that.

Yep, that should be frame rate allright.

They're not toying about with the test system, though:

Processors: Athlon 64 FX-62 (2.8 GHz dual core)
Memory: 2 x 512-MB Corsair CM2X512-8500
Motherboard: Asus M2N32-SLI

Not exactly the best of the best today, but it ain't no slouch either.

I'll take it!

I need a temporary card since my 1900XTX is up the spout and only works in VGA mode. I get nice lines on my screen during boot up too!

no

sounds good to me - I'll have to check when I get home as to whether my motherboard has PCI-E, as I know the card in there is AGP . . .

You're properly screwed then... I don't think there are boards (mainstream, at least) with both AGP and PCI-E 16x
