I'm looking to buy a r7260x. There's two different brands with the same card model. but I'm not sure which one to get.

r7260x priced at 144$ - http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Version-PCI-Express-Grap...

r7260x priced at 113$ - http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-1GB-2xDVI-Graphics...



The only difference I can see is the brand name and the amount of GB. Anything else that I am missing ? Which one is better ? help please.

p.s. only need the card for gaming Team Fortress 2

They trade off. The Sapphire has more VRAM and the Gigabyte is a bit quicker.

It's worth noting, more expensive Sapphire is only $120 on Newegg.

This XFX one really is about the same cost of the more expensive one you were looking at, but performs better than either of the other models since it has the higher core speed of the Gigabyte and the higher VRAM of the Sapphire. I'd definitely vote for this one if you were going to spend $140 anyway.

On Nvidia's side, this GTX 750 SC would offer a midway point in performance, above the two cards you were originally looking at but below the XFX R7 260X I recommended.
