hi .. i have a simple question about graphics cards . let me illustrate .. suppose i am buying a nvidia 6XXXX graphics card and i have a configuration in mind ( eg - PCI - E , 256 DDR2 RAM , xyz clock speed etc ) . and in the store i find the same config from EVGA and XFX and others . can any one company change the basic architecture of the chipset such as number of pipelines . i know some makers factory overclock it but what about the base level design ? if the chipset is the same eg nvidia 6200 LE .. can one company sell it with 4 pixel pipelines and another with 2 ? please answer only if you know not to earn points and refer me to evga and xfx sites . any authentic answer is most welcome .. thank you ...

Card makers can NOT deviate on GPU architecture as per Nvidia's naming convention. They could only vary core clock and memory clock speeds. You may have been confused by EVGA's 4 pixel pipelines vs XFX's 2 pixels per clock spec for the same card model.
