The 7950 GX2 may be a close performer when it comes to DirectX 9 applications, but it doesn’t support full precision HDR and FSAA simultaneously. The 8800 GTS does. It also has DirectX 10 support for next years games. If you’re buying high-end right now, the 8800 GTS is definitely the card to have. The 8800 GTS is definitely the card to have. £299.61 for a card of this calibre is good value, and one should be high on your Christmas wish list.
