Hi there im requesting advise from you guys as I currently have a 7950GX2 and a friend would swap me his 7950GX2 for some hardware I have that he wants. However before he offered I already have purchased a BFG 8800 GTS 512 G92 Overclocked version online. So I was wondering if should stay with my new 8800 GTS card or sale it to buy faster processor if the Quad 7950GX2 could beat the 8800 GTS.

does anyone here know what is best as I have search so many sites online and cant find a quad vs 8800 setup.

thanks,

Andy

What are the rest of the spec's of your PC? What games do you play?

If your PC has a PCI-E slot and reasonable good cpu/ram and you play modern games decent resolution like 1920x1080 or 1680x1050 my advice would be:

Forget that old stuff, sell it off on trademe and buy a Nvidia Geforce GTX 460 1GB or AMD Radeon 6850 1GB.

I think you are right about better off selling the old and getting something more up to date.
It is hard to discribe but the 7950GX2 was the worlds fastest gpu once and still produce good frames but compared to today cards the image is crap and fps are not enough either. I reckon this cards are not easy to find so maybe i will keep both like a exibit.

I think i will look for a ATI card they just amazing.

thanks for reply,

Andy
