    As u can see, they r 2 GPU company, ATI and NVIDIA. These r all mid range GPU card, and they score about 4000+ in 3dmark05. The only difference is the 7600 hav lower pipeline (something like a pipe to transfer data) but having a faster clock memory. In the end, they fair the same, they work the best depends on which game u r playin. Visit here for me info http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=39568

    Both will suffice and perform eaually as well as long as you have a fast processor and lots of RAM.

    Considering you've mentioned Quake 4 and Doom 3 specifically, I'd would tend to go more towards the go7600. While both cards are very close performance wise, nVidia's GPUs have traditionally had the edge in OpenGL based games.

    OTOH, the X1600 can draw against system RAM (to a max total of 512MB) while the 7600 doesn't utilise TurboCache so is limited to it's onboard 256MB... although this won't matter with current games.
