Graphics Card

[Tour Guide]

I am currently deciding to upgrade my graphics card. I want to know if there is any difference between them or is it just the manufacturer that is different.

EVGA

PNY

as far as im aware there is no difference in the graphics cards except for the fact that the PNy has a larger memory, however, im no tech expert.

PNY card has 512mb more VRAM. EVGA has better warranties and customer service. EVGA also has the step-up program. Your call.

Well the evga one needs a power connector 6 pin while the PNY one doesnt have one n draws less power and from what i read the PNY one is just a oc'ed 9600gt n tad slower then a regular 9800GT but i may be wrong on that part.

 

[FreakingHell]

Thrall's right; I lied.

The EVGA one is stock, while the PNY one is down-clocked to consume less power but also has 512mb more RAM.

I'd go with the EVGA one, assuming your PSU has a PCIe 6 pin connector.

^ agreed a GTS 250 would be ur best bet unless ur PSU doesnt have a 6pin connector( i could be wrong but saw some that needed one) and cant fit a 2 sloted card. It has low power consumption to only like 230-250W full load. and a GTS 250 is like a 9800GTX+. But all in all if you dont have a 6 pin connector and no cash to get a psu the PNY one would be better its only Tad slower then a regular one.

The ECS GTS 250 is a better buy...........its factory overclocked also and will give a lot better performance over the 9800gt

I have the EVGA GeForce 9500GT i recommend u get a evga... i had it for bout 1 year and i never had a problem with it... still works at is full potentiol and i get up to 250fps in source... and always above 100fps... keep in mind that graphics card isnt the only thing that matters for your gaming if you dont have a decent processor your game will still have poor fps so make sure u have a decent processor...

PewPew the GTS 250 is better but what if he can't fit a 2 sloted card in his case? now i seen some single sloted 250's on newegg like asus but they were $135 now idk if he'll spend that much but since both his choices were 109 n 119 bucks i guess it couldnt hurt. But if can spend a lil extra get the GTS 250 if cant fit 2 sloted look for single slot ones, unless you dont have a 6pin connector
