x1950pro or 7900gs
- Thread starter rcf1987
- Start date
Stock the x1950pro is a little faster, but the 7900GS can overclock like crazy, so I'd say they're about even.
I agree... this is reflected in prices too. Relatively similar prices on the egg for them. Either way you'll be fine. I'd take a look at a hardware comparison review of the two cards to see which games are faster on which card, because ultimately, how it performs on the games YOU play is the important thing.
Only major technology difference between them is that the Radeon can do FP16 HDR + AA, while the GeForce cannot. That makes a difference in...'Oblivion', 'Far Cry', and...I think that's it.
Both cards can do INT HDR + AA ('Half-Life 2' series and other 'Source'-engine games), and both can do FP16 HDR or AA individually, too.

X1950 Pro probably doesn't have the power to do HDR+AA in Oblivion, though. Dunno about Far Cry, however, since it doesn't seem to be in most sites' test suite anymore.Only major technology difference between them is that the Radeon can do FP16 HDR + AA, while the GeForce cannot.

BFG 7950GT is $149 AR on newegg, that's a great alternative in this price range.
ya it is, damn decisions decisions. I might wait for a while I really should upgrade to dual core and 2gb of memory first

If youre upgrading to dual core and 2gb of memory, id suggest saving and going higher on the video card than a 7900GS, possibly wait for the second round of DX10 cards.

At this rate, the refresh is going to come out in October, when the 9800GTX should come out. ATi really screwed us by coming out with such a poor card and 6 months late, huh? No competition sucks.
