ATI X850XT Platinum or XFX 7600GT XXX ?

[-aDaM^]

Hey guys, I need a videocard for my lan rig, I only play CSS on it, which would be better for me?

The ATI X850XT Platinum(540/1200) ~ 16 Pipelines
XFX 7600GT XXX Edition(590/1600) ~ 12 Pipelines

I play at 1024x768 everything maxed, no AA/AF

thanks for any help :toast:

There both pretty much the same price to me, so I just need to know whats the better buy, I just want the most FPS :)

Well I've had firsthand experience with the X850 XT and it preforms VERY well in CS:S and it can definitely handle your settings and more; but I can't say anything about the 7600GT.

With my 7600GT@600/1800 and dual-core opty I get 84fps with every setting maxed out, HDR-off, AAx0, AFx16. That`s Stress test result and on 1024x768.
tw AF gives minor performance decrease but improoves picture quality alot
