anyone know when this card is gonna hit the stores?

Hits Japan this month.

What about the USA?

UK order point is overclockers.co.uk, 1-2 weeks expected delivery.

NewEgg has them in stock since last night.

The USA distributor MaLabs stocked them more than a week ago. I guess retailers like NewEgg/ChiefValue, eWiz, etc. have just added them or in the process of doing so. Search with Froogle and PriceGrabber, if not for the model then for resellers of Leadtek in general and check their sites directly.

You are mistaken. NewEgg hasn't had them instock for over a week. (Edited to make less mean.)

The first batch must have sold quick.

This card is sweeeet! I bought it online last week. Very nice performance. Lots of bundled games included. I can play GRAW, COD2,F.E.A.R, FAR CRY, and HALF-LIFE EPISODE1 at max settings (resolution = 1024 X 768).

Must at least have 400W PSU, 13Amps~ on 12Vdc or your PC will shut down. I had to replace my 300W PSU since this card consumes a lot of power.

here is a link from Newegg

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814122009

350W is recommended which generally accounts for the shoddiest generic PSU and means that a quality 300W may be fine. But yeah, it comes down to meeting some minimum amperage requirement and this card actually consumes the least power for the performance (and much less than previous generation high-end parts which it meets or beats). It is also smaller, runs cool and quiet and overclocks well.

Everyone and their cat is stocking them now. NewEgg is overpriced as usual. Check with price search engines but 3gplaza looks among the lowest at the moment.

Are there going to be any more from other companies like ASUS, eVGA and the like ?

What an upgrade from a Ti 4200. All 2006 games are very playable at 1280x1024 FEAR, Prey, COD2 you name this card can handle it.
As far as the Futuremark benchies 03=13K , 05=64xx, 06=32xx

The retail partners seem to be a little slow picking up this card. If they appear on any manufacturers websites, we'll have them posted here within 24 hours.

Does anyone know where i can find the xfx xxx edition in europe (preferably greece) and how much it costs in euros? Thanks in advance!

Interesting results from www.4gamer.net/review/a7600gt/a7600gt.shtml. The AGP part uses less power than the PCIe part -- despite the HSI chip. I wonder why.

Any known distributors, that have this card available,in europe?

XFX models now available retail in NA. (NA = North America I guess.)

So how well does this baby overclock on stock fan and voltage?

It's already doing a pretty good job with a stock, single-slot fan. The most ive seen those do is 600Mhz on the core. Buying a 20$ VF900 could get u to 650Mhz and up.

I cant find one! It's too rare! And it kills my old 7800 GS for 100$ less.

IF YOU'RE THINKING OF BUYING THIS - DONT!
Buy the X800GTO instead.

Open box versions are now in stock over at New Egg:

Hurry if you want one because they might go fast...

Upgraded my 2002-tech puter with the XFX ...UDF7 (i.e., the regularly clocked version) the day it came out.

Fan was loud to me, so I slapped on a VF700-Cu with Ceramique, which installed just as Zalman describes on their site for the 6600GT AGP. Had to tear off a few fins from the ramsinks -- very easy procedure with needlenose pliers, but do a few dry runs to see if you've removed enough to clear the heatsink. With the fan @ 5V, it's practically inaudible and 4 degs cooler than stock.

On an AGP 4x bus, with ForceWare 93.71, I get 618/1470, which results in 1370 SM2, 1260 SM3 on 3DMark06. (CPU score for my SL6DX omitted cuz I'm embarrassed.) I think I can bump the core up a bit more, but the mem looks like it's at its ceiling.

2004-era games (HL2, UT2004) now run @ high to max eye candy @ 1280x1024 @ playable FPS.

anonymous, go look at mwave that is where i bought mine and it rocks

my bro bought one of these... it seems ok for an nvidia but it has trouble running some grafix applications aswell as my other shittier grafix card (9800 XXL *aldi version*) although it may be due to some cpu interference but for around $250 AUS it runs COD2, quake 4, and some other games pretty damn good... although overall id give it a 7/10... not the best but if u cant find anything better go for it

I would like to know the settings in F.E.A.R. or Far Cry as they are in defult

I have had an XFX 7600 GT AGP XXX edition for about a month and I am truely impressed. By the numbers it beats a 7800GS. As for overclocking, there are a number of sources on the net to give you an idea. I ended up with 630/1600 with stock cooling. I added a cheap PCI slot cooler to my system and was able to get 655/1625. 3200 barton with 2 gig memory scores 3100 in 3dmark 06. System does not seem to be bottlenecked in gaming. I would buy another one if I had to make the choice again. ATI 1950 AGP seems to be a lot of money for AGP. Might also see some bottlenecking issues on older systems like mine.

how may Watts do I need for this card??
350Watts...with 16A on 12V line...are ok??

cards what doesent use extra power cable(like 7600gt) wont consume over 75w in full load,so 350w psu is more than enough for this card

7600GT AGP has a molex connector.

w00t!!! show me ... my club3d 7600gt agp hasn`t any extra molex connector.i have p4 @ 3ghz 1 gb ram,80gb hdd and 350w psu,and i dont have no problemas with power stability and eventually overclocking :)

my previous card was a 9800 pro, just bought the XFX 7600 GT AGP, night and day difference.

@Track - The X800GTO doesn't have SM3.0 and this card is fairly fast even compared to the X800 GTO.

@Zedar - it's enough .

Yo can this card play Nfs most wanted well thx

Yeah , it can .
My X1600 Pro AGP runs NFS MW quite nicely ( more or less smooth ), so based on that , the 7600 GT AGP will run it very smoothly .

Cool thanks for fast reply.

How does this card compare to the X1950 Pro?

My vid card went out after 5 years... Will this card fit into an AGP 4x Asus P4PE mobo slot? Is the AGP voltage 1.5V? I need it to be for mobo compatibility... Please get back to me when you can, and thanks

You can get something out of this card, i had the XFX 7600GT AGP 265MB, with the core voltage at 1.65V i reached 800Mhz core clock. The RAM wont get higher with a voltmod. 835Mhz is the highest i reached for the RAM. This card lived 3 months. Now i have the Sapphire X1950Pro 512MB. It's faster than my 7600GT overclocked.

guys...need some help....i hv a 6200 agp card..512 mb..with 1.5 gig ram and a2.8 ghz p4 cpu...i am now going to bye 7600 gt or 7300 gt...can anybody tell me the prices in India..thanx for help

Buy the 7600 GT . Hell , dont buy either , buy the X1950 Pro AGP . As for the prices in India , sorry , but I don't have a clue .
And you can put this card in an AGPx4 mobo .

guest "How does this card compare to the X1950 Pro?"
This card is significantly slower than the X1950 Pro .

Hey,i could use a little help...Which card is better,Sapphire Ati Radeon 2600 Pro 512Mb AGP or NVidia GeForce 7600 GT 256Mb AGP ???Thx in advance... :)

I am considering the following card: eVGA 7600GT Superclock AGP 512MB. The card is listed at 12.8 GB/s for the memory bandwidth on eVGA's site. This site has it at 22.4 GB/sec. Is the higher bandwidth for the PCI-E with DDR3? I am replacing a Sapphire 9600XT. I have attempted the math to get either solution. I must be missing something. This is a great site btw.

Noticeable performance increase from the 6800 GT. In fact, the slight advantage that the 7800 and 7900 cards had over this one did not remotely justify purchasing one of them.

Roughly equal performance to the 8600 GT. One of the better APG video cards.

I just got a used one of these, and it turns out that it was the XXX edition. It looks like the regular 7600GT AGP except the core and memory clocks were much higher. For some reason my stock fan was replaced with a different one, maybe the original was just noisy.

I'm finally able to play GTA: San Andreas at max settings, the PNY 7600GS 512MB definitely sucks compared to this one. It's just one of those things where memory doesn't matter.

I'm using a 400watt SPI power supply, with 18amps each on the 12v1/12v2. ASUS P4P800-VM, P4 3.4Ghz, 2GB ram.
