Elite Bastards posted a review on the ASUS EN7950GT video card



Despite the use of the GeForce 7950 moniker here, previously only used with their dual-GPU GeForce 7950 GX2 boards, don't be fooled into thinking that this part follows the path trodden by that high-end SKU. Unlike the aforementioned board, the GeForce 7950 GT remains well and truly in single GPU territory, with just a single, fully featured 90 nanometre G71 core a la its predecessor, the GeForce 7900 GT. This means that we're looking at a GPU equipped with twenty-four fragment pipelines (or six fragment quads), sixteen ROPs and eight vertex shaders, and utilising a 256-bit memory bus.

The major differences between the GeForce 7900 and 7950 GT are two-fold. First (and no doubt thanks to falling memory prices) the GeForce 7950 GT comes complete with 512MB of memory, compared to the 256MB available with its predecessor. Secondly, both core and memory clocks have received a speed bump in the process, with a reference GeForce 7950 GT enjoying clock speeds of 550MHz core and 700MHz RAM, giving the board a 100MHz higher core and 40MHz higher memory clock over the GeForce 7900 GT.
