I am planing on buying the GTX 760 and there are many types of the card out on the market. There is 1. Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU II OC 2GB
2.MSI Nvidia GTX 760 2GB
3.EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked ACX 2GB
4.Gigabyte Nvidia GTX760 OC 2GB
5.Gigabyte Nvidia GTX760 OC 2GB
and many more. What confuses me even more is that they are all at different prices, but I don't know which one to buy. Also why is there many types of the card out on the market when it is just the same card?

They are aftermarket cards meaning they employ better/quieter cooling solutions, higher quality components like capacitors and VRMs, and other features that reference (stock) cards don't have--some have more features than others which is where the price discrepancy comes in.

Any of those cards are great, Asus and EVGA are generally the highest quality, but also the most expensive. MSI and Gigabyte are great as well and generally a little cheaper. Pick whichever one fits into your budget and you'll be happy :)

So I am guessing that there is no difference in performance?

Some come with higher factory overclocks, but nothing that you can't adjust for with the software. For instance, the Asus probably has a higher core and memory clock than the Gigabyte, but with Nvidia's drivers you can easily bump the core and mem speeds up to match or beat the Asus card.
