EVGA Geforce 7600 GT Video Card Review

We can see that EVGA has clocked the card up a little from the stock 7600 GT. 20MHz higher on the core and 50MHz higher on the memory. Honestly, this is not a whole lot, but, hey, it’s a freebie! We’re also not entirely sure what the “CO” suffix is for, but I would be willing to bet it is not for Carbon Monoxide. I would like to say that I am impressed EVGA went a little extra distance in saying what minimum Amps they recommend for the +12 volt rail on power supplies. Hardware manufacturers all too often give blanket watt recommendations, but I have seen literally hundreds of power supplies that might be rated for 300 or 400 watts, but have truly anemic amp ratings on the +12V lines. It is very good to see a company be more specific.

Here are the specs, straight from EVGA:
