I currently have the Sapphire X1600 Pro HDMI but just saw that there is now a 7600gs put out by two companies.
I cant overclock my current card because it gets too hot at stock speeds and the cooling in my Dell case is minimal. Maybe one of the options below will have better cooling and thus be more friendly to overclocks.

I currently have this:

Just saw that MSI makes a 7600gs:

I saw this one also but I dont believe it really is low profile:

Just found an X1650 made by PowerColor that is also low profile but it is 64bit:

And a PowerColor X1550 64bit

Question still stands which card is better and is it worth upgrading if the X1600 Pro is not the best card

7600gs easy. And don't get any 64bit videocard regardless of manufacturer unless you're only planning on doing web browsing or word processing.
 
I am def looking for the best card for gaming. I play BF2, oblivion, etc.
The card 100% must be a low profile card which is what all of these have in common.

So how much better is the 7600GS compared to my current X1600 Pro?
Is it worth paying for another card to replace one thats less than a month old?

Found this at newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814122020.

As for performance, I have a friend with a 7600gs and one with x1600pro (agp). This is from watching their PCs in house LAN party. With bf2 the 7600gs can perform quite well @ 1280 res with medium settings while the x1600pro did fine at same res but some settings were on low. Another game I saw both working well on is WOW, both did really well @ 1280 with high settings.
 
I play BF2 all settings high except for shadows (low) and no AA and at the highest resolution possible. My FPS are around 35-50 depending on the map and the type of action.

I guess I am not convinced the 7600gs is worth the extra money.
 
Too bad this wasn't a poll, you'd likely have had all kinds of response.

7600GS FTW!
 
7600gs and x1600 pro is very similar and don't replace Your card with a similar one , it will be wasting the money so If U want to replace consider 7600 GT not Gs
