This may be a dumb question but I'm asking it anyway....
I want this
EVGA GTX 280 $354.99
Core Clock: 621 MHz
Memory Clock: 2268 MHz
Shader Clock: 1350 MHz
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4680607&CatId=3669
But this is much cheaper
BFG GeForce GTX 280 $269.99
Core Clock: 602 MHz
Memory Clock: 2214 MHz
Shader Clock: 1296 MHz
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3941064&CatId=3669
The reason I want the EVGA is that I love EVGA and everything in my system is EVGA, soo.....in keeping with this madness I simply want the EVGA one so everything matches....cheesy, I know.
my first question is....how in the sam hell is the evga $90ish more for very little clock speed difference??
question #2....I currently have a EVGA GTX 280, so this card will simply be for SLI, and on top of that I'm getting an additional card for dedicated physx, but should I get a 9800GT or GTS 250, everything in me says to get the 250 because it's the same price and higher clock speeds.....but I'm not sure...so that's why I ask.
So someone in xtreme land please help!!.....:confused:
