i doubt they'll work with that psu.
See in the psu whats the amperage on the +12V rail. A least 22A for the 7900gs and maybe the same or a bit more for the x1950- assuming a full load system

The X1950 Pro, and get a new PSU while you're at it.

 

[yayluu]

i think a new PSU is to become inevitable for the system..

thaks guys but why x1950, why not 7900 GS ?

 

[Heyyou27]

It should be faster, has higher quality anisotropic filtering, and supports HDR with antialiasing.

The X1950's just a faster card in general.

The 7900 GS isn't horrible though, if you really need that cash it's a good buy, especially if you're an overclocker.

The x1950 PRO is the better card. If possible, get the Powercolor version as it runs cooler than other versions. (from what I've seen on the net).

thaks for all guys.. the tests and everybody says X1950 PRO

TUL and POWERCOLOR are same and i will buy TUL X1950 PRO..

Remember, the higher the number the more powerful the card! NVidia's 8800 for instance is the highest number right now because it's the most powerful card. Graphics card companies do this because they like to honestly help the consumer pick the most powerful card of thier choice.

One wonders about R600, because it is clearly a smaller number that the geForce counterpart. (2900 < 8800)

what aout ATI & NVIDIA comperension? can we trust the numbers

7900 > 1950 so 7900 GS is very very well :lol:

Good point! The last time Radeon was ahead was the 9xxx years. In fact, a Radeon 9000 would normally be better than the 8800. EXCEPT: you have to add the amount of VRAM in Mb to the number. The 8800 = 8800 + 768, which is larger than the 9000 (9000+128). So the 8800 is just barely stronger than the Radeon 9000. Even the benchmarks agree with me here.

This is a beast of a card

i have a 7900gs and i like it. the x1950 is probably a little more powerful.

That's not even remotely true. Did you just make that up?
