The Asus one looks better because of the faster Core and RAM. At the speeds you're looking at I doubt that the extra 128Mb of RAM will make any difference.

To be perfectly honest I'd save up for a better card - a 7600GT or something.

what kind of gaming.

Depending on the games you play the 7300 may not be at all good enough.


that's not the main point, i've already decided to purchase 7300gt and i would be gratefull if you could help me choose between one of those two i listed up.

Now adays you dont wanna go with under 256mb of ram. Id save up for a 7600gt, they are only like 30 bucks more but worth it.


i know, but i already ordered those two graphic cards and i have to pick on up. so, please state your opinion regarding those two. so far mkaibear and blade85 gave their votes for the first one. do you share their opinion?

You ordered two and have to pick up one? Man, what kind of crazy shop is that? Did you have to haggle over the price and put down a goat as collateral?

:)  let's say i'm in good relationship with the guys working there in the shop.

okey, let's put the joke on a side. i just told tham that i'm gonna take either that asus one or that evga and to put the on the side until tomorrow.

so i have a couple of more hours to decide and you are not helping me with these kind of questions. better tell me which one to pick up tomorrow?

128mb will not be enough at all for anything gaming-wise unless you're doing internet flash games. You may have a little faster performance for the first 20 minutes, but beyond that your frame rates will probably drop by half. If that's "better performance", then fine, go with it. Oblivion will use more than 300mb of video memory. My faster 256mb card was fine for a while till it filled up and dropped to 15fps outdoors, while my 512mb card held 30fps for hours on end. Benchmarks will show the first card to be faster as well, but the best test is to run the game for an hour and see where you're at. I'd personally go with the 256mb card.

oh man... it almost same here... i also asked few of my friends about these cards and half of them told me "take the first one", another half told me "no, take the second one" and now i'm pretty much confused. i want to use this card for playing call of duty 2, battlefield 2, fifa 08, nba live 08, nhl 08, company of heroes and that kind of games.

my final ask for your help (in about hour i'm going to the shop)... which one to take as you can see what kind of games i prefer.

if this can be of any help, this is my pc configuration: intel pentium D, 2,66ghz dual core, intel desktop mainboard, wd HDD 80gb, 768mb ddr1 RAM.

okay to put it in very simple terms...like i said in my first reply to this thread..

both those cards are gonna have one hell of a hard time playing the games you mentioned. Unless you play them at 800x600 and with your graphics settings toned down to low/very low.

Pick none and save for a better system, those cards are really bad. The most common decent cards in the 7 series available are the 7600GT, 7900GS, and 7950GT. Save for one of those (which shouldn't be too much more)

For a gaming card, NEITHER of these is a good choice. No matter which one you end up with, you will not be happy if you plan on playing any recent mainstream games.
