Re: Which Graphics Card?
Manufacturer websites are unreliable guides on psu guidelines. I had found that the video card manufacturer recommendations to be arbitrary and wrong at times. In the case of the 7600gt, the 300W recommendation is arbitrary because there are practically no psus below 300W these days and anything lower is probably not atx12v compliant.
Since the 7600gt consumes only half the power of the x850xt and power supplies degrade over time, the 7600gt is a prudent choice.
Re: Which Graphics Card?
Ok I think you've nearly convinced me. Just a few more questions. How do you know so much about this card? I've looked for reviews everywhere and I can't find a thing? Secondly, why is it called Winfast? An d finally is the fan any good? It looks noisy, ugly, and it chucks all the hot air back into the case. The x850 pro has a nice big fan that exhausts it all out the back (suuposedly). Or is the fan not the important issue here?

Re: Which Graphics Card?
Master Thief, there's a good roundup of midrange cards over at Anandtech (http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2812&p=1) that includes the 7600GT. They even included factory-overclocked cards, and got respectable numbers.

Re: Which Graphics Card?
Alright, i'm convinced. It is a pretty good card.
