Question Asus 8800GT vs eVGA 8800GT

Hey,

I have been looking at these to cards:

http://b-com.ca/product.php?producti...cat=387&page=2

and

http://b-com.ca/product.php?producti...cat=387&page=1

By looking at the specs of them I am wondering which one is better. Is the Asus one actually worth $50 more. Am I actualy going to notice a difference playing games like COD4, and Bioshock.

Thanks again

Shawn Stevenson

Ya, I had a feeling the picture was wrong. Oh and Kuzba I looked at that it just that b-comp is just down the road from me and I would have to pay shipping if I ordered it from tiger.

Thanks

ok. well the asus would perform better, in answer to your question.

but you could just get the 50 dollar cheaper card and easily overclock higher then the asus one.

so obviously the evga is the best one to get.
