*Gaming/CAD/3D work: very low end by todays standards, almost not worth it.
*Office work: onboard uses less power and generates less heat/noise

You can find a flaw with it in every configuration!

Of course i'm messing around here. i am not being serious, just pointing out that for the uses many people have today (HD media and gaming being the top two that use a graphics card) the 7600GT is quite poor. but who cares, if it wasnt good enough for you, you'd already have upgraded it!


Card was bought 2 years ago and still give all the performance that I care for in Oblivion and Battlefield2.

The CPU and RAM, on the other hand, are another story. The new ones are in the mail.

I agree, though. It is an underperforming card.
