Hey all,

 

I've recently ordered a custom built PC and asked for Nvidia GTX275 graphics card...however, my PC has a Gainward 275 GPU. I've searched the net and found out that ASUS also make GTX cards... It may be a bit of a naive question but I would expect when I order and pay for an Nvidia to get an Nvidia card and not Gainward...

 

In other words, what's the difference between an nvidia GTX 275 and a Gainward GTX 275? :??: thx

Neither ATI nor nVidia actually make the cards, they make the GPUs and the various OEMs design the board that the card is based around, nVidia and ATI have a reference model but the OEMs are allowed to make some changes to it, but a Gainward GTX275 is an nVidia GTX275 so its an ASUS GTX275, all of them have their GPUs made by nVidia
