starfox5194 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 ok i want a macbook pro really badly because i think it is link an ultimate laptop. the thing is i'm a major fan of emulation. (PCSX2=awesome) and a gamer and i need a computer upgrade badly to play all of these great games (battlefield 2142 and stuff) I'm a little worried because the best part of my pc is a nvidia geforce 7600 GT AGP GFX card. Everything else is 10 years old. i'm thinking about getting a macbook pro around the leopard release and dualboot with vista. By the time leopard is released i'm thinking there will be a gfx card upgrade but idk. my question is. How bad is a ati x1600 compared to a geforce 7600 GT anyone have any advice.... P.S. i'm already going to replace the hdd with a 7200 rpm 250 gb one. i don't know if there is any card swap or something like tht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.C. Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 The x1600 is more along the lines of a 6600GT. Approximately half the performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFI Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 The x1600 is more along the lines of a 6600GT. Approximately half the performance. Not even. They're both equally powerful, however quality wise, ATI is still ahead (when comparing the anti-aliasing quality). A 6600GT is not half the performance of a 7600GT...its more like 3/4.
