    Not sure, but I've got an 8800 gt 1gb in mine that can run it at full with full OSA where the only slowdown I get is because of my cpu

    I have a friend who has a 256 like the 7600 and he can run it with little or no slowdown on medium graphic settings although I'd suggest that you turn off shadows altogether. They're not all that great anyway unless you have them cranked to full.

    But as for the 7600 gt Not really sure. The main thing SupCom eats is CPU processing so if that's fine a 256mb video card should do fine.       Unfortunately, I am by no means any expert on the subject, so this is just my educated guess.

     Hope it works out for you. :)

    I ran a SupCom on a 7600GT 256MB for about a year with max detail, 4x AA,, no shadows, and skies disabled at 1600x1200.  It only bogged down a little bit when I zoomed in on large battles.  But when I went to Forged Alliance, it couldn't hack it.  I ended up buying an 8800GTX which handles it beautifully at full detail and 16x AA at 1600x1200.

    Forged  Alliance will run with a playable framerate on a 7600GT at 1600x1200 if you turn down the details and disable AA.  But even then, zooming in on a busy section of a base with lots of shields and coastline and other tidbits like that will cause it to bog down to unplayable rates.  I recommend reducing the resolution in FA on a 7600GT system, but it will handle the original SupCom just fine.

    Hope that helps!
