6800xt or 7600gt

Hey.

Just wondering what you guys think is better.

7600GT
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/106578/rb/0

Or

XFX 6800XT
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/114006


Im building a new PC, but im on a pretty low Budget. I want it to be 'cheap + Nasty' (appart from the PSU of course)

Basically i want a PC that will run BF2/Test drive unlimited etc on Medium/High.


Im guessing the 7600GT is better, but is it worth the extra £20 odds? And could the 6800XT overclock to 7600GT speeds?

thanks.

Re: 6800xt or 7600gt

If you are on a low budget, get the 7600GT. It will always beat the 6800XT and consumes very little power so depending on the other specs you may only have to look at a good quality 500w PSU.

Re: 6800xt or 7600gt

I'd pick the 7600GT. nVidia uses the XT suffix to denote a low-end card, while ATI uses the same suffix to denote high-end.
