Again the stock performance is decent, the 'GS' version of the Geforce 7600-series is just a little less powerful than the 'GT' models. The Biostar Sigma-Gate GeForce 7600GS just begs to be overclocked when you have tools like the V-Ranger utility at your disposal. With the help of Sigma-Gate/V-Ranger, the Biostar GeForce 7600GS score in 3DMark06 climbs by almost 50%!
