i vent to tomshardware and looked and different benchmarks too. the 7900gs, 7950gt, and x1950pro's were very close. the ati had some higher benchmarks than the nvidia and vice versa. but it was so close. the only thing on toms was i didnt know if they were comparing the pci-e versions or the agp. its gonna be a tough call and im gonna do a lot more research and thinking about it. they say the x1950xt is the fastest card to ever grace the agp bus. most of the benchmarks i looked at, depending on what it was, they were within like 100-200 points of each other or like maybe at a tops of 15 fps. so they are all good cards and it really boils down to, for me, what other people say and off of that ill look at the benchmarks. but i also wasnt looking at the overclocked benchmarks, i was just looking at stock speeds. i might do so mild overclocking, so those benchmarks dont do a whole lot for me. my only other questions were, is more pixel pipelines better, higher core or memory clocks, and 256 or 512. have a good one! if someone could help me on the pixel pipeline, core or memory speeds (ex is 575 core with 1200 mem speed better than something with 500 core speed with 1450 mem sped). thanks in advance.
