they have a much higher list price on the second one but they sell it for less then the first one

Answer 1

I would recommend you go to www.tomshardware.com and read his reviews on video cards.

Answer 2

They are roughly the same, but the XFX card is clocked 10mhz slower than the EVGA.

The difference will not be noticeable.

I would go with the XFX card, strictly because of the Double Lifetime warranty they have on the card. That means that if you sell the card to someone else, they too get the lifetime warranty.

Evga does not do that.

Answer 3

They are almost identical, except for some clockspeed difference.

Probably a few points difference in benchmarks but you would hardly see any difference in games in terms of frame rates.

Go buy the cheaper one.

Answer 4

top is slightly tiny tiny bit more stronger, but the brand name is what you should be looking at, like warranties and stuff.
