What's the difference between GFX Brands?

[Hessian]

I'm looking to buy a NVIDIA 8800 GTX, there is 3 available, from what I can see they are the same, just a different brand. Can someone please tell me the difference? Is it really worth spending spending almost double the money for one gfx card over the other?

The BFG one is watercooled.

Is the BFG one independantly water cooled or do you already need a water cooling system in place? How about the difference between the two cheaper cards?

The BFG has the waterblock already attached, so you just connect up the pipes to your existing watercooling kit. The difference between 'normal' cards would be warranty and 'freebies' like games included etc.

Can I just ask as to why you would want pay so much for a 8800GTX?

Great card but when you see that a 4850 is only £130 and an 8800gt is £93, it just doesnt make sense to pay that much

Indeed, just had a word with Yewen and he recommend the 4870, and looking at it, it definitely seems to be much more worth the money!

Deffo the 4870, faster cards, and only £200.
