Conclusions

As we mentioned before, GeForce 7950 GT is positioned between GeForce 7900 GT and GeForce 7900 GTX, bringing a terrific performance for its price range.

GeForce 7950 GT is, on average, 20% faster than GeForce 7900 GT. Compared to Radeon X1950 Pro, GeForce 7950 GT was between 27% and 35% faster on 3DMark03, between 47% and 71% faster on Quake 4, between 13% and 31% faster on Far Cry and between 13% and 29% faster on Battlefield 2142. On 3DMark06 both cards achieved a similar performance and on F.E.A.R. the card from ATI was between 10% and 14% faster when no image quality enhancements were enabled, but when we increased image quality GeForce 7950 GT was between 11% and 27% faster.

In our opinion GeForce 7950 GT is the best video card on the USD 250 range. Of course if this is too much for you, you can pick a GeForce 7900 GT or a Radeon X1950 Pro – this one only if you don’t play Quake 4 or Doom 3, as these games run a lot faster on nVidia products.

If you have USD 50 more to spend we highly recommend the new GeForce 8800 GTS with 320 MB, as it brings a very high performance for a price not that high – compared to the usual price range of very high-end video cards, of course.
