biggrin.gif cos seriously la, GPU = output the graphic to whatever display devices. that's what they're for. what other features are we talking about la?

basically the differences are
1. packaging
2. bundle
3. build components (capacitors)
4. heatsink
5. warranty

put all the brands together - you can't tell which PC is using which brand.

heh. and which brand NOT OK? even Manli, which is like the opposite end of ASUS also ok what. smile.gif

heck, the ASUS 3870X2 with me just refused to work too.

all brands also face chances of failure la.

on my side, the brand that died on me faster than ever was EVGA - that also no OCing or anything involved! does that make it a bad brand? no it doesn't. not at all.

Check out the bundles when buying the cards, and also the warranty periods if you're planning to keep the card for a while.

like what i said earlier, gc with custom coolers perform slightly better than reference one (original from nvidia)...it runs cooler as well...i prefer brands like xfx, palit and zotac because price-performance wise they are the better ones compares to asus and gigabyte which uses nvidia reference design...
