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!

I would almost certainly buy the 7600GT. It's hella cheap and it performs well with just about every game out right now.

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.

Bump for the 7600GT for sure. You don't want to be wasting your money now. Save now and spend later for a DX10 card.

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.
