Solve : Which is the better Graphics card??

1.	Solve : Which is the better Graphics card??
Answer» I have a choice of two Graphics cards, a HIS X800, or Inno3D 9500 GT. Both are PCIe x16 interface. However, due to the HIS's size and large fan case I cannot ACCESS one of the PCI SLOTS. (This is not a problem with the Inno3D as it is much slimmer) If I install it in my other PC it only covers a PCIe x1 slot which is not required. Can anyone tell me which card is the better spec. etc so I can make an informed decision as to which PC to install it in? Thanks in advance.

According to the specs, the 9500 GT should be the better card. If your motherboard supports PCI Express 2.0, then this card would utilize it. It's DirectX 10, rather than 9, so you're covered there when playing newer games.
