What is a better setup?

[srt4eblue]

GF 7950 GX2 1GB 16x PCIE Or... Dual GF 7950 GT 512MB 16x PCIE cards running in SLI?

Thanks.

 

[akshayt]

you are comparing what?

Anyway get 2 X 1900XTs if you need to spend that much

lol. ok if you DO happen to have a crossfire motherboard handy AND a powersupply that could hold 2 x1900xt's AND would consider going ATI instead, then listen to akshayt CONSTANT x1900xt advice. however, if u already have a SLI mobo then the dual 7950gt's are gonna be faster. They offer everything the 7950gx2 does (cept for quad SLI of course) and they do it at considerably higher clocks. OR you could just wait on G80 to come out. Read some reviews, and use those to make the informed decision yourself, you will be much happier with something YOU decided on rather than something some fanboy told u was the shiz.

Do not pay any attention to him. We stopped caring about what he said ages ago.

I'd get an eVGA 7950GX2 because it's cheaper and because of G80's inevitable release. 😀

Thanks.

one tip. the 7950 gx2 has only 512mb effective ram.
dual 7960 would be better if you wanna OC cuz you can use after market coolers and volt mod.

 

[morgash]

the 7950gx2 has the exact same amount o ram as dual 7950gt's. both cards on the 7950gx2 have 512mb of video RAM making for a total of 1 gig.

Dual 7950 GT, higher clocks and better cooling than the the GX2.

 

[Cookie Monster]

Dual 7950GTs.
They will be faster due to higher clock speed, memory speed, and plus have better cooling.

But at this stage id buy a 7950GX2, and use EVGA step up program if the G80 is released within 90 days from your purchase.

Also consider the fact that imo the Nvidia drivers are ALOT better then ATI's, and I think many would agree with me on that.

BTW are the 7950gt's even out yet? (and what will they cost?)

Do you really have to answer every thread with: Get a 1900XT or Get a NeoHE.

What happened to 1900XT is crap?

It's actually a good powersupply since Seasonic makes them, but it gets annoying when every post is about a X1900XT, NeoHE, or how hes a complete noob to overclocking.

Wow, this thread turned into an ATOT ownage, in the video forums, at that.

Anyway, go dual 7950gt's.

Wow...I never knew that...I thought people said Antec was a decent brand for PSU...

Despite their blunder with the capacitors a while ago, they are decent. Their NeoHE brand is just better because Seasonic built them for Antec (well, built them to Antec specs and pricing).
