any particular reason why you'd avoid the 8800? Just seems a bit daft to spend £160 on a slower DX9 card than a quicker DX10 one..... Do you need single slot or something?dmsims said:Having gone from a 6800GT through an X1950pro to X1950XT is the 7950GT my best bet ?
dmsims said:My Mobo will not work with 8800
If I want to go 8800 I will have to buy new mobo, ram and PSU - not an option at the moment

4x!!!! ouch!!!!!LoadsaMoney said:Won't run the 8800's, just done some digging, the PCI-E slot only runs at 4x, may as well keep the x1950 XT instead of downgrading to the 7950 GT.![]()
op has a 430W psu..... I don't....squiffy said:OP has a dual core CPU, you don't.

matja said:I've heard that 8800's, even with Nvidia claiming that they'll only work in 16x slots, run fine in 8x slots. Never heard or seen one run in a 4x, though. If 8800's are completely PCIe SIG compliant, it 'should be fine'.
HeX said:Hardly rubbish, they are great stepping stone boards.
But ya no point changing the 1950 for a 7950 at all.
