[Nicfish]

As the name suggests. Am i better off with a 7900 GTO or a 7950 GT OC.

7900 GTO @ £170 + p&p

or

7950 GT OC @£140 + p&p

I really need an opinion asap. Buying soon

Thanks in advance

Hi Nicfish,

Personally I would go for the 7900GTO

Here are a couple of links, well worth the read which would hopefully help you decide which card is the best for you.

hmmmm after a quick read, i find that even the standard 7900 gto will out perform a 7950 GT OC. I think i will be going for the 7900 after all. Im sure it will keep me goin till next year. Lol. Any news on it getting any cheaper due to the 8800's? Or is £170 gonna be as low as it goes?

Hi
Nah i think the gto being mid range will probably stay in that price band with limited stock, unless ocuk do another deal on them! Thats when i got mine.

same as above, cant really see it, £184 inc P&P is a bargain. mine will be here some time today.

EDIT - i was originally going to get the 7950 but the friendly bunch here put me in the right direction.
