FAO : GX2 owners

I went for the XFX, but really any version is fine. Don't pay a premium for any overclocked versions. They seem to overclock easily +70Mhz on the core, so just use Coolbits if you want faster than stock speeds.
Overall, the GX2 is a monster card. I run @ 1680x1050, the GX2 doesn't give a s**t how much AA/AF you pile onto it, it just keeps pumping those frames out with one had on the wheel. For your screen I'd say the LEAST you need is a GX2 if you're going for a single card.

Cause there newer. And use better RAM have a lot of pipes there rather similar spec wise when you look at the specs. Just the GX2 has more memory which is usless currently and the 1950 uses DDR4. Hence faster.
The new 8800 could be out as soon as next month though.

Some specs for you. Looks like it will be an absolute beast.

i've never been an ATI man, always had nvidia's, right from the geforce 1 ultra.
before that i had 3dfx voodoo cards in sli. had both the voodoo 1's and voodoo 2's combo'd with matrox millenium or matrox mystique cards.
the thing that put me off ati's was when i once had to use them in the days of the ati rage, and the ati all in wonder, they were shockingly bad back then.

Theres 2 methods of HDR + AA. HL2 way which works. And farcry way farcry if you try it will not allow you to use HDR and AA at the same time. Neither will Ghost recon or oblivion.
And ATI used to be shockingly bad. But since the geforce4 days they have been better cards usually. Apart from the X800 series.

Okay ta, either card seems like a good choice then really. I know the 1950 is a monster card, but I cannot help feeling that when the res gets high, and the AA/AF gets stupid, the GX2 will suffer far less. 1950 is cheaper though - good choice of card for anyone. Thing is, at the top of the game it's all splitting hairs really, and diminishing returns.
In any case, I loves the hardware and I will get whatever is the best at the time, ATI or Nvidia matters not. I'm not a brand wh0re. Probably the best value card I ever had in its day was my 9800Pro :approve:

^^Probably better off going for the cheaper 1950 in that case, especially if you intend to go DX10 asap.
I'm totally happy with my GX2, and the time I've owned it means I am getting the best out of it. I would happily change it to a DX10 card tomorrow if they offered much over it. I will probably skip G80 & R600 and change on the next cycle, when DX10 is more settled. Until then, I dont think the GX2 is going to struggle
I've alyways got an itchy trigger finger on the credit card, so always watching the advances and always willing to consider new upgrade paths.

Heres a benchmark you might like BF2142 peformance at higher resolutions the GX2 is a lot quicker than the X1950XTX.

Least shows you which is better for next gen games etc. Think im gonna be back down to playing at lower resolutions unless i drop in another 7800gtx.
