Nvidia 7900gs vs 7950gt (256) - Another what to buy...

[blancj]

Hey all and thanks for reading.

I am looking for opinions between two quailty brands.

1. 7900gs at 600 core 1600 memory (Factory)

or

2. 7950gt at stock (~550/1440?) with "only" 256MB memory (512 is standard?)

They are close enough to the same price that the difference doesnt matter. (In-laws who give cash are the best.)

I dont know enough to accurately predict the increased GS perfromance over the stock versions.

Thanks.

The 7950GT is the better card.

The 7900GS OC will perform quite well but the 7950GT will outperform it, especially if you OC it.

A review on 3DGuru compared these cards and the 7900GS OC was within approx 10% of the 7950GT standard.
