Re: game/computer freezes in main menu

The 7600GT would be the best card for your budget.

There is the one at stock speeds: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130062
and
There is one that is factory overclocked: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130017

Re: game/computer freezes in main menu

alright thanks. How much better do you think it would perform? Also how do you think AA, bf2, and CSS would perform with a x1600pro, 1gig of ram, and a 3400+ 64bit processor?

Re: game/computer freezes in main menu

The 7600gt is better than the X1600.

Re: game/computer freezes in main menu

I'd still go with a BFG model of the NVidia. Under average conditions, you won't need the warranty. But above average conditions occur and it's always good to have that to fall back on.

Re: game/computer freezes in main menu

Evga has a better warranty and better service.

Re: game/computer freezes in main menu

Same warranty from what the websites say, which is good enough. Can't get better than lifetime.

As to BFG's service, I had a buddy use it with no issues. My two purchases from them have been no trouble so I've never put that to the test. If you've had equal or better luck on EVGA I'll give em a go next vid card purchase probably in the next six months.

Re: game/computer freezes in main menu

1 thing i really like is Evga covers overclocking.

Re: game/computer freezes in main menu

I would usually reccomend to go with Evga, but in this case you might as well go with the BFG 7600GT. Its a great deal, go for it.
