BFG GeForce 7900 GS OC or ATI x1950 Pro.

I currently have the the Asus Extreme N6600LE Silencer/TD/256M video card (http://www.asus.com.tw/products4.aspx?l1=2&l2=6&l3=139&model=613&modelmenu=1) and was looking for another SILENT Dual DVI Video card (Asus Preferred).

The reason for a DUAL DVI card is that both my LCD Panels can use the DVI Connectors and not the VGA.

Any suggestions? :confused:

To get back on topic: I was looking up reviews for the same two cards to compare them and the X1950 is definitely the winner. X1950 is almost close to the performance of the 7950GT but may trail by about 7-10fps. So unless you can get the 7950GT at the same price as the X1950 (which you could have at NCIX) I'd just go for the X1950 and save yourself a few dollars.
