No, a 7950GT is a tweaked 7900GT. A 7950GX2 is more along the lines of
two 7900GT's SLI'ed rather than two 7900GTx's SLI'ed.
The 7950GX2 has a slightly faster core clock (and slower memory cock)
than a 7900GT, and does not approach 7900GTX speed.


Thanks for that. Was tempted on a 7950 GX2 to replace my existing
card. But looks like its not worth it then.
