nVIDIA 7600 vs. ATI X1650

The nVIDIA 7600 has been around for a little while now, and ATI is in the process of releasing its competition, the X1650. Neither of them are the top of the line, but nVIDIA clearly is a couple steps ahead. The cards each have 256mb of DDR (Double Data Rate) ram and they were tested against each other using benchmarking software. The X1650 barely stood up against the 7600, always being behind by a few frames per second. Both are priced at $150-200, so it doesn’t seem worth the wait to get the ATI. Especially since they are worse.
