what is the fastest single video card on the market today, i have currently around $600 to spend max and need the FASTEST one available
 
Today = The Nvidia 7950GX2
In a couple weeks - Possibly the X1950XTX, but I think the 7950 beats it in a few benchmarks.
 
im really on the ferge hear, as i prob wont have this money until x mas, will dx 10 cards be out then?
 
Anyway, X-Mas is what, 4+ months away? No sense in digging too hard now, who knows what'll be top dog then.

GX2 wins pretty much every benchmark.

If you don't have the money for 3 months, well there will almost always be a better card in 3 months. DirectX 10 will be here by Christmas (the cards at least, it could be 2032 before MS brings on the software),

the GX2 is the fastest single Video card out there. But you have to make sure your motherboard supports it, otherwise you Shit outta luck.

The list of support motherboards is in the Nvidia site.

I take it you don't have an SLI or Crossfire mobo. If you did a pair of X1900XT's would fit your bill nicely. The 7950GX2 may or may not work in your mobo as well. X1900XTX looks like card best option at this minute. 1950 is coming real soon. Or as many have mentioned a few months from now there'll be new options
 
Crossfire X1900XT's is the best high end option IMO.
Some dude got a X1900XT for under $250 so at that price you can't beat it.

Dual GPU Crossfire X1900XT's pwn the dual GPU 7950.

The 7950GX2 is the fastest right now, even faster than the X1950 XTX.



Wanna bet? :cool:

Sure, I know windows Vista will be out right around end of this for sure, I see no reason for ATi or nV to delay thier next gen any longer :)

riiiigghttt....

unless you post the link your friend used thats useless info for this guy.

the "dual GPU 7950" :rolleyes:

ok two X1900XTs in crossfire would outperform a 7950GX2 (you cant call it just 7950 anymore as there will be a 7950GT shortly), infact if they didnt ATi would have a massive problemo on there hands. clock for clock the G71 and R580 have proven themselves nearly equil. so two R580s clocked at 625MHz vs two G71s clocked at 500MHz. who do you think the winner should be?

if you can get an X1900XT and an X1900XT Crossfire master for $500, yeah id do that, but you cant really.

now then. a 7950GX2 leaves room for another 7950GX2, meaning you can have a total of 4 G71s. where as the crossfire option, the best your gonna get is your current setup.

so the best:

single "graphics card" - 7950GX2
price/performance: two X1900XTs - Crossfired and Oced. (according to the post above me)
Dual "graphics cards" - two 7950GX2s

PS. G80 will not have a unified processer achitecture, it will however support SM4.0
