gfx card choice

[silent h3ro]

Either a 7950gt 512mb card (is the extra 256mb really necessary?) or a 7900gt with 256mb.

Wtf this 7900gt (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814131020) is the same as a 7950gt but higher priced lol. And it runs slower. :dry:

i'd wait for directx 10 cards to comeout before spending 300$ on a vid card... there are some top notch games (quake 4, FEAR) that utilize 512mb video memory, so if you need a new video card(7950gt) right now, go right ahead.

I have two 7900 GTX 512 cards and I'm happy with them. Only downside is that I can't run two monitors with SLI enabled.

Go for the 7950GT :)

Yes, the 79xx series is fast enough to take advantage of the extra Vram. Go for 512mb.

Ok thanks guys.

Nice setup, Skizo! I bet ur framerates are amazingly good.

Why even bother buying a card now?!?! The Vista is coming out soon with directx10 and those cards are going to be outdated... I guess if you got the money go for it
