Worth exchanging a 7900GT for a 7950GT?

Martingale00 · 03-08-2007, 10:42 AM

Hello all, I purchased a 7900GT (still unopened) for a new build and I am changing a lot of things around so I have to return a bunch of items to the retailer anyhow. I noticed they have the 7950GT for $20 more then the 7900GT. Since I am returning a bunch a stuff anyhow I could just as easily return this too and get the 7950GT. If I'm not going to notice a difference I wont do it but if there's an actual performance difference I'll take the time to exchange that too. Should I do it? The only reason I ask is that I ordered online and have to go through the trouble of shipping back. Thanks for any input.

If you dont have to pay a 15% restocking fee, then sure, go ahead.

I agree for 20 dollars its worth it.

The 7950 is marginally better than the 7900GT, but I don't know if its as overclockable though, but if its only 20 bucks, then its really worth it.
