Could someone please explain why these two card are so close in price?

Hello,

I'm thinking of getting a new graphics card and I stumbled upon these two offers, what strikes me as strange however is how close the two prices are together. I've looked through and don't find a catch anywhere would anyone have any ideas?

One is 1GB and the other is 2GB i would expect a large price difference.

One card is Sapphire , a very known brand and the other is VTX , a brand that is not so well known.Anyway, 1 GB of memory doesn't make the card faster, it just helps games run better on really high resolutions and since 5450 is an entry level card the 1 GB difference shouldn't affect the performance very much.I suggest you get the Sapphire card.
