7950 GT or 7900 GTO - help

[tedaC]

Right , i am faced with a dillema... for the same price , on OcUk i can buy an GeForce 7950 GT or a GeForce 7900 GTO ( both 512Mb )

At first the choice would seem obvious, but then it gets cloudy. I looked on one of my favourite sites, GPUReview and compared the two cards and this is what i found :

http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=445&card2=459

it would appear that the 7900 GTO is better in every respect except memory bandwith ? ! ?! ?!

But thats all i can see, and the benchmark comparisons are inconclusive. ( as in half of the benchmarks dont have the GTO in 512 or just dont have it )

By the way , i want an nvidia cos ive already got another PC with a high end ATI (X1900) and i want to compare.

Please help me, which is better Neutral

They are both near the bottom of this page :

cheers

I suspect the majority of people would probably say the 7900GTO.
I would tend to agree.

GTO. It is practically a GTX.

It overclocks very well from what I've heard, and is quite quiet.

Surely the bargain of the year in this countdown to DX10...

Agreed.
