has above!!! Novatech GeForce 7900GT 256MB DDR3 SLI Dual DVI/TVO : nov-79gt Gainward BLISS GeForce 7900GT Golden Sample 512MB DDR3 SLI, Dual DVI, HDTV, PCI-E (550MHz Core Clock) (1400MHz Memory Clock) : gwd-79gtgs who are gainward??? is the dearer card worht the extra?
Heres a 3rd option :- ebuyer.com - Components » Graphics Cards » nVIDIA GeForce 7 Series » Product details I haven't heard of a Novatech card and personally I would prefer a known brand for backup if it was needed. Gainward is a devent brand but the card you've shown is a little pricey I think.
Gainward is a well known brand. I don't know who Novatech is, but more than likely they're using the nVidia reference design---but most companies do these days. The Gainward card comes with faster memory and GPU clocks than the Novatech, so it's going to be a faster 7900GT, and it has 512MB instead of the 256MB the Novatech card has. The Gainward will be a faster card, but if you can't or don't want to swing that kind of cash, that's fine. Just know that it's simply not one brand versus another: there is value for the extra cash.
Novatech tend to make cheaper versions of things, and rebrand them with their name. You'll get higher quality with Gainward.
this is the 1 im getting will order tomoz Gainward GF Bliss 7900GT SLI 256MB DDR3, PCI-E, Golden Sample, Dual DVI, HDTV Out, Retail available at Micro Direct Ltd UK wats the best make to get xfx, geforce, asus,gainward??? dont understand that side of things example nvidia 7900 gt yea but with all the extra names different cards but the same model wat the f is going on?
Nvidia make the geforce chipset. Xfx, asus and gainward are manufacturers who make video cards using the geforce chipset under licence. The processor that powers all 7900GT cards will be mostly identical (some have more memory than others or will be clocked at higher speeds) but at the core they are the same. The difference between manufacturers are mostly quality. Novatech will be cheaper for a reason, perhaps quality control or backup and support. Gainward, Asus and Xfx are all decent brands. I have had products from all these manufacturers at some point with Asus being the best (by a small margin).
the gainward has extra memory and is overclocked. i suggest you go for the first if you don't want the small extra juice. why don't you go for a Leadtek 7900GT
