Even at stock speeds the Biostar Sigma-Gate GeForce 7600GS does not trail the Gigabyte GV-NX76T256D-RH videocard by much in Quake 4. When this mainstream PCI Express videocard is overclocked it leaves the Gigabyte Geforce 7600G videocard in the dust! In Quake 4, the Biostar card is even able to surpass the performance of a Radeon X1950 Pro when its overclocked!
