We managed to benchmark the latest Radeon X1950 XTX card and compared it against the fastest GeForce 7950 GX2. We know that the GeForce 7950 GX2 ends up close to $100 more expensive but we are comparing two of the fastest cards around. The Radeon X1950 XTX card is clocked at 650MHz core and 2000MHz GDDR4 memory. But was this enough to beat Leadtek's WinFast PX7950 GX2 TDH card, clocked at 500MHz core and 1200MHz memory powered with two cores? Although the GeForce 7950 GX2 is lower clocked, does it still remain the one to beat? There is only one way to get to the bottom of this, let's just start the race for the performance crown! - The Inquirer
 Leadtek WinFast PX7950 GX2 TDH 1GB HDCP Review
So, in the end there should be only one winner. We have to admit that the Leadtek WinFast PX7950 GX2 card did much better than we expected. It runs at least twenty five percent faster at the higher resolutions. If you have a display that supports 1600x1200 or higher resolutions, you want to get GeForce 7950 GX2 card. Even at 1280x1024, the most common display resolution around, NVIDIA wins in every single time. The dual chip GeForce 7950 GX2 is still the fastest card around. The only problem is that once you plug two GeForce 7950 GX2's together it won't run that fast. Quite surprisingly...
The GeForce 7950 GX2 is the fastest single card around but I would not bet on it when it comes to Quad SLI, at least not for the few weeks until the alleged new driver comes. If you want more than one card, you might want to think about the Radeon X1900 or even the new Radeon X1950 running in CrossFire. This is actually a better way.
