    7900gtx
    Memory Interface: 256-bit
    Memory Bandwidth(GB/sec): 38.4
    Fill Rate(Billion pixels/sec): 12.0
    Vertices/Second(Millions): 1000
    RAMDACs (MHz): 400

    7950gtx:
    Memory Interface: 256-bit
    Memory Bandwidth(GB/sec): 44.8
    Fill Rate(Billion pixels/sec): 13.8
    Vertices/Second(Millions): 1150

    the 7950 is just a more recent card and a more powerful card...if you have to have the most powerful card, that is it

    The answer is no! But it was spelled out above, of course it is better and if you have to have it? Yea, better, for what it's worth 3DMark 06, 50 GTX 5214, 00 GTX 4766, very close!

    The big difference is that the 50 was upclocked from stock.

    If it's less than around $25, get it.
    If not, don't.
