EVGA 7950GT or EVGA 8800GTS

Niskyspy · 02-20-2007, 07:02 PM

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!

No competition, the 8800 is one of the best cards out right now.

im debating pretty much the same thing, but i'm looking at buying the asus 8800gts. twice the memory, plus you get 2 games and a copy of 3dmark06.

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.

did you know that one 8800gts will outperform 2 ati x1950's in crossfire.

so yes, the 8800gts will rip the 7950gt to shreds!
