 Galaxy GeForce 7600 GS 256MB

 By: Hilbert Hagedoorn Edited by  | Published: May 15, 2006  


GeForce 7600 GS

There's no doubt in my mind that Galaxy has a winner on it's hands here. In no possible way I can think of anything negative about it. The features are as you can expect from a mid-range Series 7 product, yet is clocked faster, better and even then has overclocking capabilities left. It has an integrated buzzer that'll warn you if the card is overheating, it has the niche Zalman cooler, it comes with ramsinks, a blue colored PCB, default higher clocks and thus better performance and let's also not forget SmartFlash; the dual-bios feature. All that for roughly 150-160 USD/EUR is just really nice.

You tell me .. how can you not like that ? If you are in the market for a card like this then please seriously consider it as it should be the card that most of us should buy. Why? It's affordable and offers serious bang for your hard earned bucks. If I had to sum this product up in two words it would be: absolutely stunning.

The Galaxy 7600 GS is competing with cards which it should not compete with, and that is the 7600 GT even the Radeon X1800 GTO in some scenarios, although the GTO wins in most circumstances though. Nope .. this mid-range GeForce 7600 GS is fighting against a class of cards that it should not be fighting. Quake 4 at 34 frames per second at 1920x1200 with 4xAA and 8xAF... for roughly 160 bucks yeah that makes this a tremendous product for sure.

You know with Quake 4 .. you could buy two of these cards and set them up in SLI mode, that that number would rise towards a stunning ~65 FPS .. so yeah that's double performance.

It's a Series 7 product thus is supports all the features I mention before but let's not forget stuff like HDR, Shader Model 3 and all the features that the Series 7 products entail. That includes SLI functionality. The GeForce 7600 GS from Galaxy offers an exceptional amount of bang for your bucks and when your performance starts to suck, simply add another card into your SLI system and double up that performance. You just have to like this product. Also it's single slot solution is nice, not loud due to the Zalman cooler either. Yeah, great stuff.

Well don't let me bore you with a mile long conclusion. When a product is good it's good. End of story, well done Galaxy !
