Well the 512Mb 7950GT is dearer than the 7900GTO.
Id go for the 7900GTO purely as it has a better cooler, unless you get the ocuk one with the zalman on it

Which has the better actual stock performance though? As the 7950 GT is already avaliable at competitors.
OCUK's stock of the GTO seems to have been delayed =/
EDIT - heck, the Leadtek 7950 GT is avaliable on here for only a fiver more.

I suspect the 7900GTO & 7950GT will probably be very similar in performance terms.
If youre after one of these cards to eventually go SLI later on, then i would choose the 7950GT, as the 7900GTO is a limited production run.
If youre only after an Nvidia card, of the two, i would simply choose the cheapest as performance wise there wont be much in it.
If you want the best value for money card in that sort of price range, though you would really have to buy the X1900XT. Even the 256MB version is quicker than the 7950GT (& assuredly the 7900GTO) .

I personally would go for the 7950 rather than the 7900 as there seem to have been some reliability issues with the 7900s which I assume have been sorted out in the 7950 series???
Go for the more popular models as I assume the driver updates are likely to be better supported on more popular cards rather than the less popular ones.
