| | GeForce 7950 GT Performance Preview |
 | | Today’s arrival of the GeForce 7950 GT is a bold demonstration by NVIDIA that they don’t intend to give an inch to their archrival, concocting a new GPU that’s designed to take on ATI’s brand new Radeon X1900 XT 256MB head-on. |
 | | The GeForce 7950 GT, like the GeForce 7900 GTX, ships with 512MB of GDDR3 memory, whereas the GeForce 7900 GT is typically limited to just 256MB (although in more recent months, some board partners have been equipping their 7900 GT boards with 512MB of memory, BFG being one example). |
 | | The memory on the GeForce 7950 GT runs at 700MHz (1.4GHz effective), that’s 100MHz shy of the GeForce 7900 GTX and just 40MHz faster than the 7900 GT, while the 7950 GT’s graphics core runs at 550MHz, sitting right in between the 7900 GT and 7900 GTX, which are clocked at 450MHz and 650MHz respectively. |
