INTRODUCTION

 Ah yes, our good friends at XFX have done it again. They have brought my PC back from the brink of the junk yard. Just when I thought I wouldn’t be able to get any more performance out of my computer, XFX gives me one more reason not to build an entirely new rig just yet with the XFX 7950GT 512MB 550M. This card makes my PC feel like the young stallion it once was. Playing Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars or Quake 4 was alright before the card but now, it is like the difference between night and day. Seriously, this card is a diamond in the rough. 

 

I really thought manufacturers had given up on AGP. I was wrong.
 
Recently, XFX teamed with Nvidia and gave us their newest most up-to-date GPU solution meant to capture the affordable high-end gaming arena. The 7950GT is the successor to the 7900GT and is selling in the $250 to $300 range. It has a core clock speed of 550Mhz and a memory clock of 1.3Ghz.  Furthermore, with 512MB of GDDR3 memory on a 256-bit bus, the 7950GT has plenty of memory bandwidth at its disposal. If you do not have money to buy a new computer and want to squeeze another 6 months to a year out of your computer, this AGP card is the way to go.
