I have a free nvidia geforce 7600gt to give away

A place to converse about the general aspects of flight simulation in New Zealand

Postby kiwibarguy » Mon Feb 02, 2009 1:56 pm

Hi there, i recently got an nvidia geforce 9800gt so i thought what a better place to share some love than at our local. I have my Geforce 7600gt to give away if anyone is keen. She runs perfectly, check out the details below and my flight if you want to see her potential. This offer is to NZFF members only. So post in a screenshot to show us how bad you need it or play your violin the loudest and i'll send it off to you, postage 'n all for free. wink.gif



GeForce 7600 GT
This is the high-mid range product in the 7 Series family.

Performance Specs:

Core Clock Speed: 560 MHz
Memory Clock Speed: 700 MHz (1400 MHz effective)
Memory Interface: 128-bit
Memory Bandwidth: 22.4 GB/s memory bandwidth
Fill Rate:4.48 billion pixel/s and 6.72 billion texel/s
Vertex/s: 700 million
SLI Support (for PCI-E Model)
Shader Power: 12 pixels per cycle
Memory Type: GDDR3 or DDR2
The 7600 contains all the features of the GeForce 7 family, and is priced rather low for the mainstream market. It was made to provide a Geforce 7 series card to the mass market. By using the same PCB and GPU socket as the 6600, manufacturing costs should be lower due to available parts left over; and the fact that it is built on a smaller wafer. When benchmarks revealed that the 7600 GT seriously outperformed its original market opponent, the ATI Radeon X1600 XT, ATI reduced prices of its Radeon X850XT PE (the fastest video card of its previous-generation product line) and introduced the X1800 GTO, which was slightly more expensive than the 7600 GT, but marginally faster thanks to its 256-bit memory bus, higher peak pixel fill rate and more raw shading power. However, the memory speeds in the 7600 GT are underclocked, leaving quite a lot of headroom for overclocking.

What an awesome gesture.

I am looking a buying one at present and would love it, but think it would be better served with one of our more deserving, less financial younger members.

I agree a vote sound perfect.

Cheers KBG

Your a kind person

Very kind offer!!!! clapping.gif Good on yer! clapping.gif clapping.gif clapping.gif

Is it PCI-E? I could use it on a second system, but I think there'll be NZFFers far more deserving than me that could use it to upgrade their main system.

when i first saw this topic i thought immediatly of this picture i took a while ago of my 'new' across the straight scenery smile.gif

it was overheating my 7500LE and it produced this 'interesting' picture.

Kiwibarguy has started the ball rolling so I would like to get into the spirit of things.I've recently replaced my graphics card out of a AMD 64 'gaming' computer with a 1gb Gigabyte(Card brand).The old card which I'm giving away is a Gigabyte(Brand)128mb.I have only used FSX with it(no add ons) but it worked sweetly.Don't know any other particulars.Ian.

Yes video cards or graphics cards are the same thing winkyy.gif

I don't need a new graphics card, got a Radeon 4850 recently. A great card, but I wish I had realsed earlier how much more important CPU speed is to FSX for framerates.

Anyway just wanted to say to kiwibarguy and hoki1185, you guys are awesome! What a great idea! I hope someone really deserving wins it.

I will find out what my brother has in his PCI or AGP. He's got a second hand ex-architect computer and it needs/he wants a new graphics card... If there's anyone more needy than him (he's a bit too young to afford one at the moment but he can survive without one) then don't bother. Just thought that I'd better add...
BTW would it speed up his computer? He's got a Celeron (intel) 2.0GHz and a gig of Ram and an nvidia GeForce4 MX 440.
Only consider me if it would actually speed up his computer.
Thanks,
Kelburn
