Hi, I'm brand new here and have a few questions. I am looking to upgrade the graphics card on my computer, I play games like fear and bf2, I also am mainly upgrading for the new TES game-oblivion- ,I have a x300se and was looking at getting either a 7600GT-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130283
or a x850xt http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102688
Now I know that the 7600 has sm3.0 and is newer. But from what I can tell it is less powerful, it has 12 piplines compared to x850xt's 16 it also has about half the pixel fillrate, and has a memory transfer rate of 128 while the x850 has 256.
Now, in terms of wich card will deliver better quality and fps, as well as wich card will last me into the future, what card would you guys choose? (I know a decent amount about video cards so most of this info should be correct, however if their is something I missed or was wrong about, please point it out! thanks.)
