Well, I just purchased an x1950pro for my new machine (it's a Powercolor), because everyone said it was a better choice. Now, I went to this Toms hardware guide, and saw that the 7900gt "Top" performs considerabbly slower in every field than the x1950pro does. But there is anotehr version called "7900gt sli" which does better in nearly every field than the x1950 pro.... does this mean the card capable of sli is faster, or two 7900gt's in sli are faster?

Here is the link I'm looking at with the 7900gt as much faster:

so teh 7900gt sli means two cards in sli?

Here is the same comparison, using the 7900gt "top":

the ati card wins by a landslide. (well, justa few frames, lol).

Please help, That cahrt is a little confusing. :).

yes and don't rely on tomzhardware for benchies use a more reliable source eg. [h], anandtech or firingsquad :)
 
I wouldn't trust THG's comparison graphs, they are notorious for being inaccurate. I think the cards are about equal in terms of performance, but I suggest you look around for some more reputable reviews that you can base your decision off of.
 
yeah if you look at the specs of the systems they use to compare they are so different cause they use such old technology with some of the older cards and such.
 
Since you've already got the card, there's really no point in switching it for a 7900GT. Performance gains will be minimal if at all(it might even be a downgrade, I'm not sure).
 
i think the 7900 gt gets more performance when overclcocked than the x1950 pro how ever but you should be fine.
