dHack Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) Sparkle released recently this new 7600GT card. It has the latest nvidia G73-B1 chip (80nm), it's silent and it's cheeper than older 7600gt based cards. Now is there any reason why this won't work with Titan/Natit or some other driver with full QE/CI support?

ninetto Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 HEY it's a new card, right, so don't get hot around the collar if nobody is telling you straight off that it will work. But yeah, just stay away from the 512 vram version and it looks like it SHOULD fly... good luck good data, n .m.

frizbot Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers ¿ù»~ '80040e10' [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]COUNT Äæ¦줣¥¿½T©λyªk¿ù»~ /product_detail.asp, ¦C23 Anyway it should work. Ninetto is right, don't expect it to work and don't expect others to know. We'd tell you if we did. It may be strangely incompatible, who knows. Sounds like a nice card though, as long as they haven't dropped features etc to make it cheaper.

dHack Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Sorry, here is the working link. The card has 256MB and AFAIK there shouldn't be any other major changes besides fabrication process. It's cheap because the new mid-range dx10 cards should be out soon and 80nm chips should also bring the cost a little bit down. All the other spec's look the same as the standard 7600GT. I don't know too much about GPUs and how their drivers work but something tells me it should work.. Now someone please correct me if I'm wrong Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40397-is-there-any-reason-why-the-new-80nm-based-7600gt-wont-work-with-osx86/#findComment-289577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bikedude880 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 It could be that the core of the card has been changed slightly to optimize performance... There could be several reasons why it doesn't work. Device ID could have changed...

boon4376 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Mine 7600GT works (MSI) however i cant upgrade the drivers from macvidia, nor can i change the resolution past 1024x786 Kinda sucks on a 22" monitor to be stuck at that resolution. I would totally switch over if i could get a higher resolution. But im staying with windows till then... I'd switch my laptop over too if the damn INTEL 3925 wireless worked Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40397-is-there-any-reason-why-the-new-80nm-based-7600gt-wont-work-with-osx86/#findComment-289581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
