GTR 2 marks the return of an official FIA racing simulation game in several years. It does not disappoint, walking away with Gamespy's Simulation Game of the Year award. From the results, you can see which card is the better choice for this game - definitely the Radeon X1950 Pro. Higher nominal minimum and average fps, scaling all the way up to 1600 x 1200 with AA and AF. It's graphics bound at that resolution, so we don't see any difference running it with an E6300 running at default clocks and 2.8 GHz. The sweet spot for scaling seems to be 1024 x 768 (though it still scales pretty well at 1280 x 1024), where we saw a jump of 38 fps from 117 to 155 fps in average fps and 20 fps from 40 to 60 fps in minimum fps. The GeForce 7900GS doesn't scale as well, offering 28 fps higher frame rates in average fps and 3 fps higher in minimum fps.

Seeing the fps progress graph, we see the GeForce 7900GS with an E6300 running at 2.8 GHz performs on the same level as a Radeon X1950 Pro with the same E6300 running at default clocks. On the bright side, it did spend less time between 60 to 90 fps, meaning its slightly faster at some points. Clearly, the GeForce 7900GS have no chance to stand up to the Radeon X1950 Pro when both are paired with the E6300 running at 2.8 GHz.
