Need some quick help

[ghost recon88]

Each card is on sale, the X1950 Pro, and the X1950GT. However, the Pro has a 512MB buffer, while the GT only has 256MB, and is $10 cheaper. The GT however has 4 more pipelines, and 12 more shaders. I'm thinking that makes it better, but I would like some other opinions please. Thanks

nullX1950 Pro 512MB

X1950 GT 256MB

actually, they have the same architecture; the pro is just clocked higher. if you don't want to overclock go with the pro, if you don't mind doing it you could save some $ and get the gt. but if they're really that close in price it doesn't really matter, just get the pro.

The GT you linked to cannot be right. It states it has 48 shader processors and 16 pixel pipes. But in this link http://www.gpureview.com/show_...hp?card1=471&card2=519 it is showing the GT with 36 shader processors and 12 pixel pipes.

yea after researching, the pipelines and shaders are the same on the GT and Pro, so I opted in for the Pro. $20 more, but twice as much RAM and higher clock speeds.
