THe 7950gx2 is essentially two 7900gts put into one card, so its better than any 7900 cards. However im not sure about 7950gt.

See if you can get the 7900gt as it has the full 24 pipelines instead of 20 pipelines in the GS.

is it worth it

Basically it goes in this order.

7900GS < 7900GT < 7950GT

robina_80 · 11-11-2006, 04:03 PM

you know the 7900gs and 7900gt will they play games that require up to 7900 but i persume if the game requires 7950 and up even the 7900gt wont play it, do you understand me

Currently, there is no game on the market that requires 7950 and up.

So, 7900GS can run any game.

That depends what you mean, because practically any card can play any game out, but if you crank up the settings and resolution, even the 7900GS will start to fall behind.

It depends on the card. You can unlock them by flashing the BIOS with that of the higher end model of the same core, however most new cards are laser cut, so its practically impossible.
