sapphire x1950 512MB vs geforce 7800GS oc almost the same speed?

junwang0808 · 04-27-2007, 08:18 PM

i tested both of these cards on this game MMORPG game called Rappelz
suprisingly x1950 only runs at maxium 30 FPS and 7800gs runs at average 10-20 FPS. i have to say x1950 have gives me better pictures but the FPS is very unstable. it constantly drops by a huge chunk. which makes the game laggy.

while 7800GS stays around 10 - 20 FPS. its not very fast but smooth gaming.

ofcourse when i test them with 3dmark06 x1950 runs faster!

the only thing i don't get is... why is my x1950's benchmark so close to 7800GS oc's benchmark. x1950 is suppose to be a way faster card.

i checked everything. i made sure my sapphire x1950 gets 2 different PSU cables. it doesn't overheat cuz i got artic cooler x2. still !! it runs pretty slow??? help me out guys...

Depends on what 1950 it is?
And different card with different architectures may do better/worse depending on the game or application run.

the X1950 Pro will cream the 7800GS OC
The X1950GT would be about the same.

Maybe you don't have enough amps on the 12v+ rails, can you post the exact amount you have?
