I'm a moron....unmoron me.

Well I have a dumb question. I want to buy a 7900 gt and the specs dumbfound my dumb self.

What I don't understand is one video card has

XFX Extreme XXX 7900 gt
Core Clock: 560Mhz
Memory Clock: 1650Mhz
Ramdac 400 Mhz

and

BFG 7900 Gt
Core Clock: 475Mhz
Memory Clock: 1360MHz
Ramdac: 400 Mhz


So my question is, How much of a difference say in game would a Memory Clock of 1650 mhz & a Core Clock of 560Mhz have versus a Memory Clock of 1360Mhz & a Core Clock of 475Mhz? Would it make much of a difference?

Alright well then since you have so wonderfully enlightened me...how about one more???? The BFG is 320ish and comes with a life time warranty and the XFX is 350ish and only has a two year warranty...is XFX good enough I don't need to worry about a card crapping out after 2 years?

 

[suprasteve]

I'd still go with the xfx, and you sure the bfg's warranty isn't just for the ram part of the card?

 

[gjpeterson]

I don't know what the warranty covers. ALl i've found is

Warranty Length: Lifetime Manufacturer warranty.
Coverage: Covers repair or replacement of the product.

That was on zipzoomfly.com's site and I havent really been able to find more so...well I guess I just don't know what it replaces.

The reason its more expensive is because it's alot faster, if you were an overclocker (which i kinda doubt you would be), then i would go with the cheaper one.

But i would say go for the XFX.
