I would like to know which is the better graphics card. The Evga GTX 280 or the SAPPHIRE Radeon X1950PRO? I have a set of both and would like to use the better pair.
 
The GTX280 was significantly faster than the prior Nvidia flagship, the 8800GTX. The 8800GTX was probably 50-100% faster than the x1950pro.
 
Actually the previous flagships to the 280 were the 9800GTX and 9800GX2.

As an owner of a 280 up until recently, I'd defo get another. It was still taking everything at max settings 1900x1200 without too much sweat.
 
That can be a legit question for a complete n00b like that, why would somebody who never posts here sign in just to pull our chain? I still remember when I was new, and if everybody had ignored/hated on me every time I opened my mouth (or keyboard) I would have gone to find a friendlier locale.
 
he asked the same question on hardforum and his sig there says x1950pro SLI. lol, he is likely not a troll and is just simply a bit noobish.
 
At one point I had an HTPC/emulator rig with an x1950 pro. It was a hair faster than the 8600 GT in my laptop. It was a good card, lasted me a while.
