evga 7800gt cards...what is the difference?

[jwerner]

Ok...looking at the eVGA 7800gt cards, they have 3. The only difference I can see is the price and the gpu freq speed. BUT...normally faster speed = higher price. Anyone know of the difference?

The 3 item/part numbers are CF14130256, CF14130247, and CF14130249

They are all eVGA 7800GT cards, but one is 256-p2-n515, the other 256-p2-n515AX, and the third is 256-p2-n517-ax. I assume that cooresponds to the "CO" that evga...but I can't really see any difference in the specs for all of these.

Any help?

OK, the middle card (CF14140247) looks like a rip off to me. It's clocked lower than the other two cards and cost more than the first card. It doesn't come w/ anything extra (like a game). So don't consider this one.

The first card (CF14130256) is clocked at 460Mhz Core/1100Mhz Memory... the third card (CF14130249) is clocked at 470Mhz core/1100Mhz memory.

I would personally get the first card (CF14130256) and just OC it to 470Mhz and spend the $18.00 price difference on a movie for 2. Go see King Kong, it rocks!

"CO" means Copper heatsink, look closely at the one labeled "CO", it uses copper heatsink that is used on GeForce 7800 GTX, its larger than other standard 7800GT heatsink, and the fan is also bigger and more fins.
