In case you're wondering, the Gainward may stand a chance against the standard GeForce 7950 GT 512MB. But that's only if you push the Gainward to its maximum of 650/1500MHz and only at a high resolution of 1600 x 1200. With the many overclocked GeForce 7950 GT cards in retail, we doubt that the Gainward would make any headway against those. Against other Radeon X1950 PROs, the Gainward was faster than all except for the unique and expensive GeCube, which remains our top overclock so far. Strangely, Overdrive option for the Gainward did not allow us to go beyond 1500MHz for the memory, a clock speed that the other cards managed easily. If you happen to have a third party overclocking tool that works properly for the Radeon X1950 PRO (which amazingly some popular tools don't yet support it), you should definitely get a higher memory clock than we did.
