Silent XFX 7950GT (570/1500) in stock at Newegg!

[Damn Dirty Ape]

Woot!

Gonna think about it over the weekend.. Might just go for an EVGA 7900GTX instead. No ATI tho..

 

[Ayah]

The cooling doesn't look that effective..

 

[CrystalBay]

It comes with Ghost Recon too...

 

[Wreckage]

That has to be the fastest silent card on the market.

 

[tjdavis1138]

Priced comparable to the Sapphire x1900xtx 512mb. Isn't the Sapphire a much faster card?

 

[Damn Dirty Ape]

Not sure, but it consumes much less power. I've got a borrowed 1900GT ATI right now and it is definitely a cooker.

we shall see I guess. They are gonna have to stand behind it, but with the 7900 family being not the highest consumer in power it might just work

It should be faster, but it is not silent..... which is the point of this card, no fan.

Immpressive. I didn't think the 7950GT was going to be so little. It packs a good punch for its size though.

 

[ElFenix]

is that dual processor?

nice quick find! This one will do until there is a compelling reason for dx10.

OH NO....grr i hate picking out new video cards

do i go with this or the x1950xt

this card is cheaper, performs better than my old 7900gt and is QUIET!!

but then again, the x1950xt seems to be a power house

they only use 50W, that's nothing like GF3's which had even smaller passive cooling on some models...you seriously beleive they would release and stand behind a card, overclocked, that would be unstable? IMO all 7900/7950 GT's should have been passive instead of those loud arse whinny 60 mm fans which move hardy any air,

 

[tvdang7]

dang hot price. for what it is.

 

[Airs]

Ah crap, should I cancel my X1900XTX (299AR from ZZF) and get a 7950GT (possibly add a second one later)? My mobo doesn't support CF (A8N32-SLI)...sigh

For 299.. that card rips through a 7950GT. Dont cancel it.

Excerpt from the review:

"While at first due to the naming scheme you might think that the card is a dual core solution, much like the GeForce 7950GX2, it certainly is not that. "

Yep.

That XFX looks cool but I'm betting people are going to be mounting a fan on/around it sooner or later. It's gonna run VERY hot, even with those heatpipes. Plus, it's the same price as a 1900XT /XTX in some cases.

but doesn't the 1900xt run very hot even WITH a fan? Reviews seem to say so..

Canceled the order for the moment, might gor for an evga 7900gtx instead.

 

[akshayt]

I have seen benchies of 7950GT, probably at stock against 7900GT and 1900XT.

Consider it equal to or better than 1900XT without AA AF and even better at high res. it is better than 7900GT throughout. 1900XT wins ifg you use AA AF
It is obvious that 1900XT is better what to talk of 1900XTX

I ordered one on Sat., and according to Newegg it has shipped. Someone here posted a link for the card and it seems that they are out of them now. So, these cards are selling.

I have a 19" Veiwsonic LCD display with native rez. of 12x10. So, I doubt I'll ever tax the card.
