Either way, I lost any interest in the hd 26xx series as soon as I heard about the hd 2900gt in another thread.

But thats only in memory. The 7600GT still had the upper hand due to the 160Mhz increase on the core. The 2600XT has a 200Mhz increase on the core (And from my own testing, a core overclock improves the card a lot more than memory).

Plus, the 7600GT --> 7600GS had a 300Mhz increase in memory; the 2600XT --> 2600 PRO DDR2 has 600Mhz, while this DDR3 model has 400Mhz. I doubt they would use high end GDDR3 anyways, so it may be hard to do such an overclock.

But, if they CAN overclock into 2600XT speeds....whos complaining !

Ohh and to answer your question; yep, they are the same with different clocks .

He's talking about 7600GT stock speeds .
