Previously, we looked at the performance you can get with both a single and SLI 7600 GS cards, now lets have a look at the performance to be had one step up the product ladder with the NVIDIA 7600 GT. The current lowest price on a 7600 GT on SLI Zone Marketplace is $99, making this a very affordable graphics card for the main stream market. The additional $30 in price the 7600 GT carries over the 7600 GS accounts for some good performance gains.
The specifications for the test system I am using here are:
CPU: Intel X6800
Mainboard: EVGA NVIDIA 680i
PSU: Top Power 1000W
HDD: 1x 74GB Raptor & 1x 750 GB Seagate
Display: Eizo CE240W
I used the same test regime to benchmark the 7600 GT in single and SLI mode as I did with the 7900 GS article. The first test up was 3DMark06. A single 7600 GT scored as follows:
3DMarks: 3412
SM2.0: 1327
HDR/SM3.0: 1202
CPU: 2489
The additional $30 in the cost of a single 7600 GT over a 7600 GS gives you an additional 48% performance right off the bat. If you are only buying one card, the 7600 GT is a much better bang for your buck. Now let’s see what performance gains are to be had with SLI 7600 GT as compared to a single 7600 GT on 3DMark06:
3DMarks: 6046
SM2.0: 2546
HDR/SM3.0: 2267
CPU: 2486
Again we see huge improvements in performance over a single 7600 GT with a pair of the cards in SLI mode. What we are seeing here is a whopping 77% improvement in the total 3DMarks from a single 7600 GT to an SLI pair, and a 43% gain in performance over 7600 GS SLI.
Next up is FEAR, again FEAR is a hardware killer so let’s look again at the settings I used in the game:
Computer
Single Player Physics: Max
Multi Player Physics: Max
Sounds: Max
Particles Bouncing: Max
Shell Casings: On
World Detail: Max
Corpse Detail: Max
Graphics
Effects Detail: Max
Model Decals: Max
Water Resolution: Max
Reflections & Displays: Max
Volumetric Lights: On
Volumetric Light Density: Med
FSAA: Off
Light Detail: Max
Shadow Detail: Max
Soft Shadow: Off
Texture Filter: 4x AF
Texture Resolution: Max
Video Resolution: Max
Screen Resolution: 1280 x 1024
Shaders: Max
Now lets see what the 7600 GT could accomplish FPS wise in this game:
Min: 33
Avg: 52
Max: 103
Percentages looked like this for the single 7600 GT, 0% of the time frame rates were below 25 fps, 28% of the time frame rates were 25 to 40 fps and 72% of the time frame rates were above 40 fps.
Now let’s put another 7600 GT in the system and see what the cards can score in SLI mode fps wise:
Min: 44
Avg: 78
Max: 150
The percentages for 7600 GT SLI was 100% of the time frame rates were greater than 40 fps. Again we see huge improvements in performance with SLI over a single card of the same type. What we see here is a 50% improvement in performance with another $99 purchase.
The final benchmark for the 7600 GT in single and SLI mode is with Battlefield 2142. I again used Fraps to record average frame rate data in game with the settings on medium preset and 800 x 600 screen resolution. A single 7600 GT scored the following frame rate data:
Min: 48
Avg: 85
Max: 100
I followed the first BF2142 run on a single 7600 GT up with a run on the same map at the same settings with an SLI pair of 7600 GT’s and got the following data:
Min: 51
Avg: 87
Max104
I was a bit surprised on this test to see that the difference between one 7600 GT and a pair were not that great. What we are seeing is a mere 2% gain in performance on BF2142. BF2142 is a very popular game so I try to benchmark all the cards I use with it. However, the lack is an in game test loop leaves me reliant on Fraps and trying to follow as close to the same path as possible to get good scores. I’ll chalk this one up to not getting as much happening on screen with the single 7600 GT as I did with the SLI pair.
Conclusion
As you can see with the exception of the BF2142 tests on the 7600 GT SLI we get huge improvements in performance with 7600 GT SLI across the board. If you are looking to build a computer that you can upgrade when needed it is imperative that you choose an SLI capable mainboard to ensure your upgrade path.
This holiday season the cool thing about SLI is that you can get one card for Christmas to go with your SLI mainboard and then later for another $99 you can gain huge performance increases that you just typically won’t see from upgrades to other components like the CPU and RAM.

I am really a games lover and I like playing games more and more.
The games with a huge graphical presentation is preferable and to do so I needed a graphics card a you described.
Though I am using a NVDIA 512 PCI express but I need some extra ordinary performance.
That why I am very much interested to you post.
Thanks
Basunov

Hi,
Backgammon is one of the oldest board games of skill Backgammon is a 2-player game of skill where each player initially has 15 checkers on a board consisting of 24 spaces or points. The checkers are moved according to the rolls of the two dice. Each player has to to bring his own checkers in the home area and bear them off before his opponent, hitting and blocking the opponent's checkers along the way.
