Is a 7950GX2 a.......

good card? Does it meet the needs of todays games (battlefeild 2142, Company of Heros, STALKER, Half Life 2, CS:S), or does it exceed it? Can it play all the modern games on max settings? Finally how long do you expect the life span of this card would be, before i need to upgrade? xfactor19990

Does the 7950 GX2 require an SLI motherboard - or can it work on non-SLI motherboards ?Cyborg-21

Quad GPU...i dont think thats worth it...cause future game supports DX10 only...rather save money for sli 8 series card...keymaster7

So but for all DX9 games it will run great?xfactor19990

I know thread necromancy is frowned upon, but rather than make a new thread, I thought i'd ask here.

A friend is selling me his 7950GX2 for cheap, and I was wondering about the mobo compatibility because i've done some research and not everyone gets good results if they have the wrong mobo.

I've seen the list, and while some Asus A8N mobos are compatible, mine in particular(A8N-LA) wasnt on the list(its a HP pavilion mobo if youre wondering :P). So I just wanted to know if the "general" mobos w/ PCI-E are compatible with the 7950GX2.

Someone will probably comment on purchasing a 8-series card instead, but ill spare you the life story so just please answer my question ;)

I cant believe there is still some people that think 8600Ultra is going to come out.

This thread was created a long time ago :P back then, 8600Ultra rumors ran rampant.

I guess no one knows the answer to my question :(

Yeah it can, the 7950gx2 is aabout equal to an 8800gts, I played rainbow six vegas on max, that was really hard, getting 20 fps in a firefight man...

ROFL this is still going lol i origianlly made this topic in Febrauary!!!!!!! LOLxfactor19990

Thats because I resurrected it

Thanks for the reassurance Anubis. I was afraid that due to my mobo not having any bios updates, this card would go bonkers :cry:
