or

Everyone just said XT, you don't need to ask again.

Everyone just said XT, you don't need to ask again.

if you read the last post, it says PRO 512 instead of 256..

if you read the last post, it says PRO 512 instead of 256..

with those games at those resolutions, i doubt you'll see a noticeable performance increase from 256 to 512. that said, go with the card with the higher clock speed.

The 256MB X1950 XT will be faster than the X1950 PRO 512MB.
