Question

[jonwoad]

Heres a quick question for you...

7900GTX
7950GT
or
7950GX2

Which one for a 17" TFT?

[tystar]

get the gx2 we've already told you this. ;)

[MystaEB]

The GX2 is fastest, but why are you limited to those 3 cards? Something from the Nvidia 8 series would be much better.

[nft99]

Get the GX2 u know u want to :) nice price as well ;)

[Aaron]

GX2, of those 3.. :)

[jonwoad]

GX2 it is then... time to speak to the boss :)

[coiler]

For £70 the GX2 everytime, anytime of the year, night of day.

[jonwoad]

Well if I get into trouble I'm blaming you all!

Just bought a 7950GX2 :)

[coiler]

money well spent. Try playing Oblivion, Stalker, HL2, Bioshock, anything really on full settings and run Fraps and laugh at the 60+ fps.

[jonwoad]

At the same time? Didnt think it was that good a card :)

The main one I'm interested in is FS04... at the mo, 60fps with everything on Max!

[coiler]

FS04?

[jonwoad]

Yup, working on getting flight sim 10, but for the mo I'm sticking with Flight Sim 04 :)

[jonwoad]

Well new card is in :) 8421 3d 06.

Awesome. Glad it's working well

Though in FS2004, SLI or higher end cards give much of a performance advantage. Due to the age of the game, the framerates you get are a lot more dependant on the CPU. I've played the game with a Radeon 9800XT, GeForce 6600GT, Radeon X800, GeForce 7300GT and 7900GS and the only thing that ever really affected performance was the speed of the CPU.

Regardless, the 7950GX2 is a rather nice card :)

[jonwoad]

I've got everything on max and get 60+ so i'm happy!
