Which one performs better? I'm getting 20 dollars plus the 7600 GS for my 8500 GT. I've heard both things being better than the other. Anyone here know for sure?

The 7600GS is better than the 8500GT, a good 30% or so faster. You suckered somebody good there, nice work!

You are 100 percent sure about this right? Anybody else want to give firsthand experience.

Ive found some specs about them if this helps.

8500GT (256MB and 512MB standard clocked):
Manufacturer: nVidia
Series: GeForce 8
GPU: G86
Interface: PCI-E x16
Core Clock: 450 MHz
Memory Clock: 400 MHz (800 DDR)
Memory Bandwidth: 12.8 GB/sec
Shader Operations: 7200 Operations/sec
Pixel Fill Rate: 3600 MPixels/sec
Texture Fill Rate: 3600 MTexels/sec
Vertex Operations: 1800 MVertices/sec


7600GS (256MB and 512MB standard clocked):
Manufacturer: nVidia
Series: GeForce 7
GPU: G73
Interface: PCI-E x16
Core Clock: 400 MHz
Memory Clock: 400 MHz (800 DDR)
Memory Bandwidth: 12.8 GB/sec
Shader Operations: 4800 Operations/sec
Pixel Fill Rate: 3200 MPixels/sec
Texture Fill Rate: 4800 MTexels/sec
Vertex Operations: 500 MVertices/sec

The 7600GS Texture fill rate is faster, but on shader operations to the 8500GT it loses. memory bandwidth is the exact same, so not much of a difference there.

PD 3.8ghz (OC) Duo, Air Duct tubed Antec p182, 2gb ddr2 800mhz,Adaptec 29320A-R U320, 2 x 72gb 15k scsi hdds, 150gb 10k sata Wd Raptor, 2 x LG Supermulti dvdrw, Tagan TG700-U35 700w, Realtek HD Audio, Nvidia 8600gts (OC) 760/2350mhz Limited Edition HDMI. Yuraku 19" TS.

Oh what the hell, I think I can trust sammoris. I just sold my 8500 GT for 80 to a friend on mine(bought it for 60 with shipping), and I'm buying a 7600 GS from a local person for 50 bucks.

7600 GS would be much better.

the 8500 was really a non gaming VGA card, that possibly supports HDCP (sp?) and can be used in HTPCs.

Oh well I sold the 8500 GT for 80 and instead of buying a 7600 GS I bought a 7600 GT for 80 as well.

The 7600GS is faster than the 8500GT, the 7600GT is MUCH faster than the 7600GS, let alone the 8500GT. You've done well!
