MSI 8500GT Video card 78.00?

[bd1886]

Have been looking for a lower heat generating video card for an Antec Aria case. I am not a gamer (but I do game a bit) and will be wanting something to replace my current card (BFG 6600oc) Was looking into a few cards and ran across this one at Newegg.(No reviews yet)
Went and found some reviews but there were no comparisons to the cards that I am familiar with. How would this entry level card compare with say a 7600gt? (Which runs too hot for my small case and not willing to change the case.)

by "this card" I'm assuming you mean the 8500 in the title. I had a 7600GT and now have an 8600GT. They both run about the same temp, the 8600 maybe a little warmer. Unregarding tempature, the 8500 will be a better choice in the longrun because its a newer card, has the newer hardware and supports the Direct X 10.
