| Colonel Calamity | remember, he is talking Canadian $$$ and Canadian shipping, some US warehouse sellers don't ship to Canada or charge a frostbitten arm and leg to do it. ![]() Thanks HL and Corsair! My opinions are my own and not representative of this site or its members. |

| I would almost certainly buy the 7600GT. It's hella cheap and it performs well with just about every game out right now. ![]() I Like Watercooling. D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220 |

| I'm Diggin it! | At what resolution do you play your games? As the resolution goes up, the 7900GS outperforms the 7600GT by 150% That's a fairly significant boost. However, if you play CS:S at lower resolutions, the difference is only around 33% Me personally, if I wasn't planning on upgrading for 18-24 months, I'd go with the 7900GS hands down. Only thing that sucks about this right now is as soon as the mid-range 8xxx line comes out, the 7xxx series should drop in price considerably.

| Modder-ator | I think the 7600GT is gonna be your best bang for your buck, especially at lower resolutions. I can't believe no one has linked you to HardwareLogic's review of the 7600GT ![]() |

| Grab you a 7600gt or save up and a 7900gt would do nicely also. |
