7800GT ??

Last xmas i upgraded my card from a 6600GT to a 256mb 7800GT and what a nice card it is/was i must say for the £200 i paid for it last year.
now it is time to upgrade the card on the kids PC i was looking to get another 7800GT but they seem to be unavailable for a decent price
the cards around the same price seem to be

BFG GeForce 7950 GT OC 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

Is this card much better than the 256mb 7800GT ?

and why the lack of 7800gt where as u can still get 6600gt's no problems
:)

Click to expand...

So the 7950gt is a fair improvement over the 7800gt then,,nice :D

are there any compatibility issues with the asus a8n board and this card that anyone knows of

and also the system is currently powered by a tagan 480 atx 2 psu is this powerfull enough for the upgrade in cards ,, ( cpu is x2 3800 )

cheers
 
hes right though, the X1950XT demolishes all of the cards we have said so far :) plus its similar priced to the 7950GT
 
cool so i would be best getting

This Week Only Offer
Connect3D ATI Radeon X1950 XT 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail for £164.49 inc vat


instead of

BFG GeForce 7950 GT OC 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
187.99 inc vat

correct ??

and if so will my tagan 480 atx 2 psu that currently runs my 7800gt run it ok ?

and 1 last question the pc is use mostly to play world of warcraft does any card perform better than the other 1 on this game ( by a good margin ) ?


:D
 
According to the only review I could find (which appears to be dead atm) they are faster in all games but prey/doom3/quake4 and thats only marginal.
