What's the difference between graphics card 8600 and 7900?

Take the graphics card I recommended for you as an example. My home is this card, Yingchi Magic Shadow 8600GTE. About 1 100 RMB; 7900GS Take the Elsa I bought before as an example, it is definitely better than yours.

First of all, how is this 79 better than this 86?

Elsa's memory is 5 12mb/256bit (definitely better than yours, or the same), which is better than 256mb/ 128bit of 8600GTE, but what about other aspects?

The core and memory frequency of 1.7900GS is 450Mhz/ 1320Mhz.

The specification of 8600GTE is 600Mhz/2000Mhz.

Secondly, 7900GS has 20 rendering pipelines, 8 vertex shading units, and 8600GTE has 32 stream processors (you can check your advanced technology).

Third, the memory speed of 7900GS is 1.4ns, and that of 8600GTE is 1.0ns (quite a lot. 0. 1 is quite different)

Fourthly, 7900GS is a 90nm process, and 8600GTE is an 80nm process, with less heat generation, better performance and less power consumption.

5.8600GTE supports DX 10. If you want to increase it to 8800 in the future, you can buy 7300GT. How wasteful is the 7900GS?

Sixth, the difference lies in the core, just like CPU. Pentium d has a much higher frequency than Core, but its performance is much worse? Why? The core is different.

There are many factors that determine the performance of graphics cards.

Of course, if you are not rich in funds, you are not prepared to upgrade 7900GS, but if you want to upgrade, 7900GS is burning money.

PS: 7900 GS 3dmark05 can get 7000 points, and 8600GTE can get more than 1W points. I tested it, don't worry.

Finally, I hope you can get rid of this problem after solving it, and don't ignore it. Otherwise, I am very unhappy that I have worked so hard to get your response. It doesn't matter whether I am the best answer in the end. Don't ignore it. thank you
