Mainstream graphics cards may not get the same press as their enthusiast-level counterparts, but it is the area where you can buy a performance video card that won't break the bank. The price-performance ratio is what drives mainstream graphics, and strikes that perfect balance between hitting the high framerates and maxing out your credit card. Graphics vendors usually do this by offering a mainstream card that is similar to the high-end models, but has been cut down in a few areas. This translates into a comparable feature set and lower performance, which is more than offset by a sub-$200 price tag. In this review, we'll be looking at a near-perfect example of this strategy in the Albatron 7600GT, which utilizes the mainstream powerhouse GeForce 7600 GT GPU.
