7600GT vs 8800GTS

Hey, I get my new graphics card this week, and just wanna know how much of a performance boost I'm gonna get.

Specs:

3.0Ghz pentium d930-overclocked to 3.5ghz (dual core btw)

3GB of ddr2 ram

old card-geforce7600gt 256mb ram

new card-geforce8800gts-320mb ram

btw I play with a max resolution of 1280x1024, and not upgrading to a new monitor for a few years

Crysis gets 25fps with everything on high, but shadows and shaders, at 1024x768

Bioshock gets 23fps with everything on high at 1280x1024

World In Conflict gets 22fps with everything on medium at 1280x1024

etc etc.

Hope I made a good investment, please do not tell me to get a another card etc, cause it's already paid for.

isnt the 7600 an agp card so then the 8800gt isnt compatible with your mobo

also why did you buy an 8800gts when the the 8800gt is cheaper and better cancel the order man

just checked newegg and there are two versions pci and agp

also im sorry man but you made a horrbile investment like horrible why would you do that try returning it

Not nessisarily. My first pci-e card was a 6600gt, which was the generation before the 7 series.

The new ATI cards are easily available up here, try NCIX.com, out of Burnaby.

I don't know where you bought that thing, but not offering returns, refunds, or cancellations is incredibly bad customer service. Don't ever shop there again.

Can't return it, cause the order has been placed already, and they don't carry the newest ATI cards, and the higher up models like 8800gt etc were way too much compared to this one. I'm from Canada that may be why. silversurfergold

what the 8800gts is more expensive then the 8800gt

True. Again, there is something really wrong going on at that retailer. Try to get your money back, and stay away in the future.
