GeForce 7600 GS: specs and benchmarks

Summary

NVIDIA started GeForce 7600 GS sales 22 March 2006 at a recommended price of $84.99 . This is a desktop graphics card based on a Curie architecture and made with 90 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 256 MB of DDR2 memory clocked at 0.8 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 1.0 x16 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 27 Watt.
