Before you make a buy, I need someone else's oppinion on this. Is the 7950GT faster then the x1950XT?

EDIT- NVM, the x1950xt is faster
hm? What uses 512bit memory interface? The 8800gtx uses only a 384bit one. If it's the 7950GX2 you're talking about, it's actually just two 256bit interface on two cards glued into one.

IDK, they are all decent. I just look at the reviews for the card on newegg, and if they are good, then you can get the card, but if they are not so good, then don't get it. It all just depends on the card.

Ok, this is the best card you can get for under $300. If i was going to by a new video card, i would definitly choose this one:

Yes, but it wont be out for several months after the G80 was released, so it's not a fair comparison. And there also suppose to cost alot more.

The R600 will have a true 512Bit memory interface.
