well this day and time where are you finding a ''new '' 7950 ? then for the money today may as well go with the latest -R- card like a 280x that's a tweaked / optimized rebranded 7000 card

unless it is a new card at a super heck of a price I don't see it .. and with the price drops of the -R- cards may as well go with one of them and have the latest release card [opinion]

I'd be wary about a old stock referb 7000 card sold today [more opinion]

even the lesser 280 seemed to of faired better ??

''The results are quite close, but Sapphire's Dual-X 280 manages a slight advantage in both frame rate and frame time variance over the GeForce GTX 760 and Radeon HD 7950 Boost.

I would personally purchase an R9 280 as the AMD Sapphire HD 7950 is an older card.

well my 7850 don't like the 14xx drivers but I stay with the 13.12 for it and alls good all day all the time on them ???? like the 14.12 omega caused black screen and some shuttering . 13.12 seems 100% fine and dandy for this card and my older 6850 as well in windows 7

just because there new drivers don't mean there better and results can vary from card to card driver to driver
