Gigabyte GV-NX76T256D-RH review (GeForce 7600 GT 256MB)

What you clock is what you get is probably the appropriate maxim for the graphics scene. Given the similar cores for a particular chipset, only clock speeds and frame buffer size will have any impact on performance. And in the case of the Gigabyte GV-NX76T256D-RH, its ordinary clock speeds means that at best, its performance was level with its competitors while its worst was also not too far from the mean. In short, don’t be looking at the Gigabyte for extraordinary performance; it is a solid but conforming card in terms of benchmarks and clock speeds.

Instead, like the ASUS GeForce 7600GT Silent, the quiet passive cooler on the Gigabyte is its unique selling point. This is not something to be underestimated, as there are probably a sizable proportion of users who prefer silence to the usual fan cooled variety.

Stacked against its main rival in the ASUS EN7600GT Silent, the Gigabyte has more than sufficient persuasion in terms of its pricing and bundle to deserve a thorough consideration from anyone looking to get an ultra quiet and competent mid-range graphics card.
