i know now it would be but if it had to be narrowed down to those to cards. i already have an 8600gts which i got right when it came out but i am wondering if it was stupid to get that card instead of a 7950gt

One on one the 7950 will be better than the 8600 by about 25%.

to above poster, 8600gts has higher clocks than a 7950gt, ram wont matter untill you get into the really high resolutions.
