Geforce 9600GT VS 7900GS

[p_o_s_pc]

I am looking to get a 9600GT soon if the prices are $160-180.Would it worth the money to get a 9600GT when i am running a 7900GS @ 585/900mhz.
So what i am asking would the 9600GT be faster then my 7900GS if so by how much?
I will be gaming at 1280x1024
One last thing. What is the LOWEST watt power supply that can be used with a 7900GS?

I don't see your scores.

EDIT: Starts at page 5... so you are benching at 2.6ghz.. hmm lets just think what kind of score I could get with one of them and a 5000+ BE

IMO, POS, do 8800GT or wait for the 9800's to surface.

I was looking to get the 8800GS and overclock the hell out of it but i am not sure if i want a 8xxx with the 9xxx coming out so soon but the price makes me want it so bad.

BTW it looks like the 9600GT will kill my 7900GS.

 

[Solaris17]

ya...

 

[p_o_s_pc]

ya...

dude what happened to the 3ghz? I am sure you could break 9k... If you haven't already.

I'll do a 8800 GS 384 / 7900 GS 512 contest soon
So we'll could have an idea about perfs evolution

 

[Solaris17]

mobo is dying i think...that or my ram....it refuses to boot past 2.7 now....and because of my card the voltage needed to reach 2.7 is too much of a powerdraw on the rig. i wanted to get a new/better mobo...but i dont have the $$$

The 7900GS isn't even in the same league as the the 9600GT.
Early 9600GT indicate that performance is similar to the 8800GT. I'd say your secure for gaming at high settings at 1280x1024 for about a one or two years with the following cards: 3850, 3870, 2900 Pro/XT, 8800GS/GT/GTS/GTX/Ultra, 9600GT or better.

oh ok.Good luck and sorry to hear that... If you wanted you could send me the ram i could test it and if it works at high clocks i keep it if it doesn't i keep it.

 

[Solaris17]

lol ill run memtest myself but thnx for the offer.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

So 8800GS or a 9600GT?

 

[Solaris17]

candle has an 8800GS and it beat my score overclocked by like 40pts or something...but id hold off i just installed XP (2000 b4) and now ill really bench it and well see whats up....but you need to take into consideration the processors..athlon x2=no match for core2

ok.. Will do. also what clock was he running on the CPU one last thing we need to keep in mind is RAM speed(sym)

 

[Solaris17]

2.5ghz cpu..(he has an athlon x2 i was just refrencing) as for the ram speed no idea....ill get mine in a sec.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

yes lol, it will smack your card around pretty badly.

We are running about the same CPU speed could i get your 3dmark scores? (05,03,06)Also ram speeds and timings.

my system right now

x2 4200 @ 2.5
ASUS M2N-MX SE PLUS
DDR2 759Dual Channel 5-5-5-15 Kingston DDR2 667
xfx 8800GS 384 720/1900/1900

im thinking of putting the M2N-MX SE bios on my board as the PLUS board doesnt appear much diffrent and the MX SE has FSB Control and voltage.

ok thanks for the specs. we are running same CPU speed i am running faster ram speed and tighter timings... I want to see your benchmarks so i would have an idea of what i would be getting.

 

[candle_86]

well my 06 and 05 scores are

06 8749
05 13035

let me run 03 for ya.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

candle your scores kill mine. I would like to see 9k-10k in 06.

With my intel C2D E6750 CPU, there's an important difference : I'm stock @2.66 Ghz with 1 Gb singlechanel PC6400 G-Kill @ 4/4/4/12 ( 2.0V ) - 800Mhz.
My results with the 8800 GS 384 ( XFX @ 710/1000/1728 ) are :
- 35411 3DM03
- 16877 3DM05
- 10908 3DM06
- 154.281 FPS in Aqua Mark 3

Before seeing yours benchies i didn't think it may have so difference betwen 2 systems with same GPU but different CPU ( but almost same frequencies ).

Does the next gen ( and 8800 series ) need 3Ghz CPU's to explain power ?

get a 8800GS ... trying hard to get mine
