Evga 7600gt or Sapphire x850 xt

[Pepsiboy700]

I have been looking at benchies of the two cards and the price. They are fairly close in price and they perform fairly close in games. I bet the 7600 oc's better than the x850 xt. Can anyone tell me anymore about both cards and which would be better?

from what ive read the x850 is the best bang for your buck out there

x850xt lacks shader model 3.0, which affects HDR.. just so you know.. :|

I would go with 7600gt because it supports SM3.0, it uses less power and it is more overclockable.

You can get eVGA 7600GT for $112.99
