I have 2 video cards lying about and wondered which has the ideal performance

nvidia 7300LE

or

ATI X600

thanks!

Answer:
hi oliver

both these cards are budget offerings and are not the best choice for serious gamers

the radeon x600 has a 400mhz core clock but the memory clock of 300mhz(600mhz ddr effective) is poor and will hamper your graphic performance,and this results in a 9.6gb/sec memory bandwidth which although isnt bad it could be better

the geforce 7300le has a slightly better 450mhz core clock speed and a improved 350mhz memory clock(700mhz ddr effective),however the 7300le,s 64bit memory bus means the resulting memory bandwidth is even lower than the x600 at just 5.6gb/sec,the x600 wins on the memory bandwidth stakes as it uses a 128bit memory bus

so looking at both these cards the good money must go on the radeon x600,mainly because of its 128bit memory bus,however as i have allready mentioned neither of these card are good enough for serious gamers,however they would be ok for older direct x8 games at resolutions such as 1024×768

any more advice let me know

good luck oliver !

Answer:
I think you should try them use futuremark software to benchmark (there are free versions which will tell you enough from the futuremark website) . I’ve a feeling the it will be ati though .
Answer:
shame sorry yea i was thinking the gt..

just looked it up.. yea the ATI X600 looks better, better bandwidth and memory interface
