Which Video card do you think is better? The EVGA 7950GT or EVGA 8800GTS, the price difference is only $10 after the rebates. Can anyone post a link to a test between the two cards.
GeForce 7950GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 |

The 8800GTS is better by far!
Besides the performance difference, it also supports DX10. If your going to spend that much, why in the world would you buy a DX9 video card?

For the price difference between those two I would go for the 8800 by far!

8800 definitely better. isn't DX10 incompatible with XP? make sure u have vista. is there any other OS that accepts DX10?

8800 can also run DX9, so it'll work with windows XP.
