Which?

[__Camouflage__]

I'm going with Radeon for this build. I have been using XFX Geforce 8800GTX. Anyway, Should I go with one Diamond X1950XTX 512MB Video Card, or two Diamond X1950PRO 256MB Video Cards?

This is a custom build with an unlimited price tag (won a local contest) and I decided to go with Radeon so I can have my own opinion between Geforce and Radeon. So don't tell me to stay with Geforce...

Go for the X1950XTX, and then later on, if you want, get another.

dude you've got an unlimited budget yet you're going with a radeon? That sounds like some of the most retarded **** ive heard in a while man, seriously. Get an 8800GTX sli rig, then sell one of them. With the cash you can buy either of the crappy radeons mentioned above, and still have an 8800GTX rig with your existing one... DUH!

Do you understand what he means cos im lost why would he build and then sell a rig If he already has the money. I would invest in a ps3 and some games if i won some money or new car or this is most likely spend it that night on booze and wake up in an alley the 2 days after.

fellow brit eh. best watch yourself in those alleys, they can be quite nasty. But the moral of the story is get the most expensive rig you possibly can and then sell it; what you then do with the money is your own prerogative. End

There is no reason to waste money on X1950XTX because you can get 8800GTS for about the same price

You said that you have 8800GTX and you want to buy X1950xtx just to see which one is better ??!!

Just look at any review, the 8800GTX beats X1950xtx in all benchmarks and in some cases it beats two X1950xtx in crossfire.

8800GTS can also beat X1950xtx in most of benchmarks and it support DX10 and newer features such as quantum physics. So, there is no reason to get X1950xtx over 8800GTS if they cost the same.

Yep and it's faster and more fullproof.
