June 5th, 2006 Posted in Articles

nVidia has released its dual GPU 7950 GX2 graphics card and the first benchmarks are out. The card consists of two 7900GTX chips running at 500 MHz, and 1 GB DDR3 memory. Price wise it costs around $600, about the same as ATi’s flagship X1900XT. You can read the benchmark here, alongside some detailed information about the card.

Great card … the best you can get for DX9 based systems. Mine has never given me ANY problems and my gaming fps have never been better. If you aren’t moving to DX10 for a while I would recommend this card. I know I won’t be upgrading my GPU for at least six more months and I have already had this card since it was released. So for me it will have been more than worth the money. Especially after being able to play F.E.A.R. on all settings maxed out with soft shadows and 8x AF @1600×1200 resolution and get silky smooth frame rates. Really I can’t say enough good things about this card.
The only negative thing compared to ATI is that you CANNOT do AA and HDR at the same time … you must choose one or the other … and usually I will choose to have 4-8xAA instead of HDR. But I do admit I look forward to being able to do both with the 8800 card next summer.
