| 374211 | 2005-07-22 02:25:00 | Is there any real difference between cards useing the same chipset (or whatever). That is , is there any real diff between say an asus radeon 9800 and a gibabyte radeon 9800 and an xxx radeon 9800. You get the idea. If they are all the same ,why the variations in price. Why isn't everyone useing the cheapest? | JJJJJ (528) | ||
| 374212 | 2005-07-22 02:38:00 | Some us different RAM, some are just better quality, some come with different programs. Some people like Honda some like Mazda but Daewoo is cheeper |

| 374217 | 2005-07-22 11:51:00 | I read that Sparkle cards are pretty good quality, but don't come with a software bundle, so are a fair bit cheaper. Wether that is true, I do not know. |

| 374218 | 2005-07-22 12:21:00 | I have a Sparkle brand video card,purely because they were first to market, In one shootout I read they were given a better build quality then all the big brand cards, though I would imagine the faults on teh others (mainly the fan mount being very poor) was soon rectifed.(this relates to the 6600gt btw) And while it has been a solid performer,stable and benching very nicely it wouldn't be my first choice. Probally just because of the name though, Just before I bought it I did tell one of the other regulers here that purchasing a Sparkle card was the first step towards growing a freddie moustache and hanging out in all-male bathhouses..... |
