Or is there no difference?

I would go for the leadtek. It has a better cooler, a two year warranty and is overclocked

Just get the cheapest 8800 GT 512MB. The stock cooler isn't exactly noisy.

Hmmm

One has a higher clocked core, far better cooling and a two year warranty... the other does not... it does have a ghey sticker on the cooler though

Both for the same price i'd definately go for the LeadTek card, if it was my money

That cooler on the leadtek isn’t worth shouting about tbh. Also Asus GT's generally have better overclocking gpu's than the leadteks.

Id go for the Asus card and pop a cheap cheap Arctic Cooling Accelero S1, this cooler on its own can passively cool a gt so if you add a couple of fans it becomes a killer air cooler! which would totally nail both cooling solutions that come with either card.

If your more bothered about warranty than overclocking, probably best you go with the leadtek

Spend a tiny bit mroe and get the gainward golden sample, the cooler is awsome on it, and is pre overclocked. I bought one a couple of days ago and am loving it.
