The x1950 is better. It has 512mb of GDDR3 memory, the others have 256 and are GDDR2.

The X1950 Pro performs far better. However, it is an OEM (OcUK don't make graphics cards, they've just put their name on it) card. There have been huge problems reported with OEM X1950Pros, get a proper Sapphire one instead, like this

It's far more reputable than overclockers. In the past year or so OcUK's customer service has taken a definite turn for the worse. I usually steer people away from them, let alone recommend them. People claim they have had bad experiences with Scan in the past, but I can honestly say of the 10 or so orders I've placed with them over the years I've not had any major problems.

Now hold on a minute, what power supply do you have? If it's a standard prebuilt PC you're adding these to, the power supply will be woefully inefficient and it will be unsafe to add these components, let alone unwise.

Ok, but just remember.
DO NOT under any circumstances install the new components before you have a better, high quality power supply. Make sure you get a decent one (Enermax, Tagan, OCZ, Seasonic, Corsair etc.)

Which PSU do you get?
(Don't turn the PC on until it has the approval of us here. Some power supplies can cause ireeparable damage as soon as you turn the PC on)
