    EVGA GeForce 7600 GS / 512MB GDDR2 / SLI / PCI Express / DVI / VGA / HDTV / Video Card - http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...&Tab=0&NoMapp=0

    EVGA GeForce 7600 GT KO / 256MB GDDR3 / SLI / PCI Express / Dual DVI / HDTV / Video Card - http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...&Tab=0&NoMapp=0

    The 512mb one is cheaper than the 256mb one, but the 256mb one is "GDDR3" instead of "GDDR2" like the 512 one, and the 256 is GT KO, but the 512 is GS.

    Anybody know what the performance difference is? Which one would I benefit more from?

    Get this one - EVGA GeForce 7600 GT KO
    Its got better ram. That also appears to have a newer core by looking at the model number.

    The only improvement the GS has is both memory and core clocks are 50mhz higher, but it is possible for you to overclock to make up that difference.

    Okay. I was planning on getting the GT KO, but I was just browsing TigerDirect and noticed that there was another one.

    id get the 7600GT

    GT

    Chipset
    Chipset Manufacturer NVIDIA
    GPU Geforce 7600GT
    Core clock 580MHz
    PixelPipelines 12
    Memory Clock 1500MHz
    Memory Size 256MB
    Memory Interface 128-bit
    Memory Type GDDR3

    GS

    Chipset
    Chipset Manufacturer NVIDIA
    GPU Geforce 7600GS
    Core clock 400MHz
    PixelPipelines 12
    Memory
    Memory Clock 800MHz
    Memory Size 512MB
    Memory Interface 128-bit
    Memory Type GDDR2


    those are the main differences, and the GT kicks its ass in speed, its just got less memory size which isnt that big of a problem


    i like to read what the customers have to say about the product after having it, thats why new egg is good, and neither one have anything wrong with them, but the only thing talked about on the GS is about how they got their damn mail in rebate, and the only con about the GT was that it didnt have a blue light on the fan lol


    and one guy said this about the GT

    I overclocked this baby to 580/1800 and it runs smooth

    which is crazy good

    see 30$ less on newegg, and it compares them better
