yea....i kinda want to see some benchmarks of the two paired against eachother.....i have a 7800GS now, but im not quite pleased with it. the x1950agp has 36 pixel shaders and 8 vertex shaders......how does that compare with the 7800GS's 16 pipelines??
Like I said in my first post, the Sapphire runs very hot and causes crashes... The extra 256mb memory isn't worth it I think... your call. If you really want 512mb memory there's only one more I can find: click. Never heard of that brand.
