is there something wrong with the BFG 7300?

[Lazerblade22]

I'm looking at a 7300 PCI express card and its priced at 119.99 Canadian dollars. I dont know much about graphics cards but I just cant figure out why this one isnt more expensive than the 6800. Is there something wrong with it I should know about? because I'm thinking of upgrading from my 6150 to this exact card.

Here's the card:

A 6800 is a top end 6 series card, a 7300 is a bottom end 7 series card, top end cards of each generation can usually outperform lower end cards of at least 2 generations ahead. There isn't anything wrong with the 7300, it's just simply that, a budget low end card capale of delivering of something just a touch less than a 6600.

So will I see a big difference between my 6150 and the 7300? I tried running some newer games on my 6150. They worked, but they didnt run very well at all

umm more powerful and a 6150 is the lowest end model of the 6 series.
