I can either get a eVGA 7900 GS KO (256mb) for $120 or eVGA 7950 GT (512mb) for $225, both after MIR.
My system -
P4 3.4
1GB Ram
500 PSU
I'll be holding onto this processor for about 2 years. And I don't plan on upgrading to Vista until then. Is it worth the extra $100 to get the 7950? Is my processor going to bottleneck a 7950? I will probably upgrade to 2GB RAM when (if) prices come down.
Any suggestions?
As a side note, I have a X1950 Pro that I'm going to return. COD2 ran faster with my old X700 and nobody seems to be able to explain why. My system is scoring about 3600 on 3dMark06 with the X1950 Pro.
