I'm comparing these two models of the EVGA 760 on Best buy and I bought 02G-P4-2765-KR for $300 (with gift cards) when I could have bought the 02G-P4-3769-KB on there for $50 less. What a gimmick with model numbers. Well are there any differences between the two? I'm having a hell of a time trying to find out so thought I would ask you all if anyone is familiar with those special model Best Buy video card. The 02G-P4-3769-KB Nvidia 760 was made for Best Buy from what I have gathered.

Shouldn't I do an exchange for that $50?

My Radeon 5850 died when the fan went. Using a 8800 GT for a backup for now.

Thank you

At the moment, there doesn't appear to be a difference between the regular and BB branded cards. However, i believe in the past they used to have exclusive versions of cards, e.g. 2GB GTX 560 instead of standard 1GB. I honestly don't think there is any difference nowadays since almost every vendor now makes their own 2x VRAM model card of 760/770s, but I can't say for sure so I'd say go ahead and try to get your $50 back since you shouldn't have had to pay $300 anyways; GTX 760s have been ~$250 for several months now, so idk why you paid $300 for one.

-EDIT-

Also, you usually shouldn't bother buying superclocked versions of EVGA cards since you can almost always reach the same clocks with the standard version cards. Only the FTW and...

Okay it is actually a $30 difference. Almost not worth all the driving. The clock differences are minimal so... it is a weird card. I can OC it to the version I like probably and call it an advertising gimmick loss of $30. 16 miles of driving otherwise unless I refuse the package. Kinda pisses me off Evga offers a less powerful product marketed as the same as a Superclocked version. I just don't like shopping. ha

Only the FTW and Classified cards are actually different and often better due to different PCB layouts and reworked/improved power delivery design, which can help with obtaining higher overclocks than what a reference card can do.
