For the buyer there is nothing better, when good things becaume cheaper, without losing in this case its consumer qualities. Something similar was occurred with the video card family of GeForce 7900 with the advent models GeForce 7950 gt and GeForce 7900 gs.
In autumn this years for $299 it is possible to purchased the GeForce 7950 gt - the close analog of the fact that recently was proposed for $400-500 by the name "GeForce 7900 gtx". Of course many potential owners GeForce 7950 gt would like to learn, by how far there can clock such card. Since the announcement consists only on 14 September, there are no official data about productivity of GeForce 7950 gt. Meanwhile associates from the French site solved and made
a simulation work of GeForce 7950 gt, after clocking to the frequencies of 550/1400 MHz the video card GeForce 7900 gt with 512 mb. memory. The results obtained in the tests was compared with the achievements of video card GeForce 7900 gt and Radeon X1900 XT.
SYStem used:
Amd fx 62 cpu (2*2800 MHz 2* 1mb cache).
Asus Am2 motherboard
2 * 1 gig corsair DDR2 memory
7900gt asus (450-1320) gpu / memory
7950gt asus (550-1400) gpu / memory
x1900xt (650-1550) gpu / memory
7950 gt vs x1900xt vs 7900gt 3dmark 2005 benchmark
from the 3dmark 2005 score it is clear that the 7950 gt offer lower performance than x1900xt but better than the 7900gt by 15% witch is good assuming the the price of the card is bellow 300$.the 1 k boost come from the 100 MHz higher gpu clock frequency and 80 MHz in the memory .assuming to eatch 1 k = 100 MHz in the gpu the 7900gtx would score 10400-10800 due to the higher memory clock

7950 gt vs x1900xt vs 7900gt Gaming benchmark
7950gt Fear gaming performance
none of the card offer playable frame rate with such resolution .the 100 MHz gpu boost give the 7950 gt 4 additional fps witch make it as the test leader
increasing the resolution make the 7950 gt score even higher by about 3 fps
enabling aa and af and here the x1900xt come to the top the higher gpu frequency , memory clock and the better memory controler give ati boost when aa and af enabled
7950gt HL2:loast coast gaming performance
The 7950 gt is about 23.4 % faster than the 7900gt witch is nice speed boost
higher resolution make the situation even better the 7950 gt is about 44% faster than the 7900gt
7950gt quake 4 gaming performance
17% of performance boost in the 7950gt side
the collection of tests and graphic regimes was very representative, but the average values the difference in the speed of video card is pretty easy to understood, For example, this video card is up to 20% more rapid than GeForce 7900 gt, and 10% slower than Radeon X1900 XT.
