Can anyone explain to me the difference between these 2 cards?

ZeRo_DiNero7 · Jan 30, 2014

I just want to know which one to buy, I like to all a lot of research before i buy a pc component and i know that the price difference isn't that much but i only have money now for the DDR3 one and not the DDR5. Is it a big difference between the 2?

Would appreciate it a lot because I want to order the card tomorrow.

I have never heard of a GTX760 with DDR3. Such a card would be an abomination, performing nowhere near as well as a GDDR5 version. Save your money until you can get the real version, with GDDR5.

i think is a mistake of writing anyway you can go R9 270 that is very very close to the gtx 760 and is way more cheaper and consumes less.

ok thanks but can someone please explain to me then what is the difference between that 2 cards because there is a price difference but dont know why?

Onus · Jan 30, 2014

The difference is that the more expensive card uses GDDR5 memory, which is much faster. The cheaper one uses DDR3, and is not worth the money.

ZeRo_DiNero7 · Jan 30, 2014

yes but if scroll down on the DDR3 one
it says in the description that it has DDR5 so now i dont know if its only a missed spelled or what?

my eyes say they both use DDR5 memory, but i'm just looking at the core ASUS part number. since they appear to be the same card, i'd buy the cheaper one. at least that one has a p/n that properly matches the Asus website. but maybe the other one is some Special Edition that includes a game or something specific to SA.

ZeRo_DiNero7 · Jan 30, 2014

I also see that both use DDR5 but im realy not sure because of the price difference and the description says it is DDR3 so im confused, If i buy the cheaper one and it happens to be DDR3 is it bad?

ZeRo_DiNero7 · Jan 30, 2014

Do you even get a gtx 760 with DDR3 ?

giantbucket · Jan 30, 2014

they (http://www.asus.com/za/) only list one GTX760, and it's a 2GDDR5 version, so I think you're safe getting GDDR5.

ZeRo_DiNero7 · Jan 30, 2014

Thanks, I just hope that it is the DDR5 version. The price difference still bugs me because i know you dont get any games or something with. But wil the DDR3 be very bad or what if it happens to be the wrong one?

1 - I don't think Asus would be dumb enough to use old DDR3 memory in a card like this. nobody would buy it.
2 - what's the store's return policy if what you get is some weird DDR3 mess that someone put together in a rusty shed?

ZeRo_DiNero7 · Jan 30, 2014

It is a online company and they does not keep stock on premises the website say they order directly from the supplier and ship it to you. I just want to make sure about the card because of the fact that they dont keep stock on the premises it would be difficult for me to return the card if it is DDR3 but i also dont think that asus wil make the new 7 series cards with DDR3

ZeRo_DiNero7 · Jan 30, 2014

and this card seems exactly the same as the other 2 cards why the price difference then
