Help me decide 280 gtx or 275 gtx

which one is better, both have the same price but one have more bandwith and the other have faster clock speed.

whats difference does that make?

its this simple.

if you have a 1680 x 1050 resolution or lower, then definitely get the 275 as it have faster clock speed, and will operate faster in-most games than a 280.

but if you have a higher resolution then get the 280 as more bandwidth helps rendering more pixels per sec.

even though that the 280 is a little more expensive or having a higher number that doesn't always mean that its faster, more bandwidth is needed only at higher resolution but at low you need to look for ones that have higher clock speed with a good bandwidth but as for these 2, 1680 x 1050 or lower get a 275, if higher then a 280.

nice answer from surda
I didn't know that thanks

If getting either, I'd wait a few weeks as the 58xx's release is bound to knock the price down a bit. The 58xx is an alternative that should be considered unless you are interested in PhysX.

i have another question, why ATI cards do better at higher resolution than nvidia's?

NVIDIA uses a wider memory bus, so using GDDR3 is not that much of an issue.

what the hell is ggdr5 and wider? u guys are sick, explain please lol
