In an attempt to boost the sales of their flagship mid range offering, the 7600 GT, XFX released a Fatal1ty edition of the card, a silent one. For those not in the know, Jonathan Fatal1ty Wendel is an icon in the electronic gaming (yes, it's called electronic gaming and not waste-of-life) community.
For some reason XFX has decided to go silent with the Fatal1ty version of their 7600GT graphic card. The GPU sits cozily covered with a nice black heatsink with the Fatal1ty logo.
Cooling fins coming out of the heatsink are routed to another air-cooled cooling unit that disperses the hot air with the help of the system fans. The secondary cooling unit runs towards the back of the card, though it doesn't fully cover the back. All said, this is still a single slot card (the first for a silent edition of the 7600GT that we have come across). Since the G73 doesn't require as much power as the higher end 7-series cards, the Fatal1ty 7600GT does not have an extra power connector. The build quality of the card is pretty good, with powder coated braces on the top of the card. The Fatal1ty 7600GT is clocked higher than the stock settings, like a typical XXX edition from XFX stables. The GPU is clocked at 650 MHz and the 256 MB of DDR3 memory is clocked at an effective 1.6 GHz. It sports a dual-DVI setup with an additional S-Video port. Features include SLI compatibility, CineFX 3.0 Engine, Shader Model 3.0, High Dynamic Range (HDR) rendering, UltraShadow II, IntelliSample 3.0 Anti-aliasing, and NVIDIA
