NVidia MSI NX7600 Series Review
April 15, 2007 | Computer, Hardware, NVidia | Comments OffMSI NVidia NX7600GS T2D256EH is an Nvidia GeForce 7600GS, however it’s not immediately apparent how the 7600GS differs from the 7600GT.

The NVidia 7600GS chip only supports DDR2 memory instead of DDR3, which effectively limits the speed to less than an effective 1GHz. There’s no point in running the core speed out of step with the memory, so while you’ll typically find a 7600GT runs at 560MHz/1.4GHz, the reference speed for the 7600GS is 400MHz/800MHz.
The MSI has a couple of tricks up its sleeve which ought to make it very appealing to a certain category of office worker. For one thing the NX7600GS has a passive heatsink so it is completely silent in operation. This is becoming relatively common these days and we have to say that the MSI heatsink is little more than a finned slab of aluminium, but it works perfectly well and keeps the card nice and cool.
Compared to many other GeForce 7600GS graphics cards the MSI lacks appeal, with one important proviso. It has a pair of DVI outputs, so provided you run dual TFT displays on your desk with digital connections you should take a good, long look at the MSI. If you have a single display we suggest that you walk on by.
