Which would you choose?

[just Scott]

I have a choice of either:

XFX 7900GS 256mb - £65

or

Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro 256mb - £75

I'll be playing Oblivion. I don't expect the best performance possible with either card, but both would be a lot better than my 6600TD that I've got now.

So, if you guys were choosing, which would you pick? Is the X1950 Pro worth the extra?

My CPU is a E6320 at 3.1GHz with 1GB PC6400 RAM by the way.

Thanks

X1950 is deffo worth the extra!

Get the X1950

 

[Dravic]

I'd go for the cheaper one and get another 1Gb of memory, can pick up a 1Gb kit for £20-25 now. It'll make a big difference if you can afford to spend the little bit extra.

Definately the x1950, much better image quality, faster, also able to do AA+HDR in Oblivion which the 7900 can't.

Gotta be the X1950 every time. Get an extra gig of ram next payday as well.

 

[Cyber-Mav]

due to failure rate of 79 series card the x1950 IS your only option.

Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro 256mb

By a mile.

How well do these overclock by the way?

8 series is the only option for Nvidia.
