Which graphics card is better?

The VTX3D has a 2GB of Vram instead of two, but I don't know if that would benefit a lowendish card like this one. But I haven't heard of that company and the Asus looks like it has a better cooling system.

He's right, I just picked the first one due to the levels of cache. I don't know about the off brand but the ASUS does indeed look to have better cooling options
 
OK, I dont mean to be rude here, but Could I have a summary one or 2 work answer of 1st or 2nd please? I feel the first one because of the ram, but im not sure. Would buying a few extra fans help with cooling?

for the money i'd take either of these over those every time.

extra fans wouldn't help cooling much, t would get more air to the fan but since the asus's fan and heatsink and all are better it would beat the other stock even if the other had extra fans.

the first card appears better, similar specs but an extra gig aof vram, but due to the low-end nature of the card the extra vram will no doubt go unused. for the money i'd prob grab the cheap one, but if you can the asus is no doubt a better brand, and should something malfunction (which is probably very likely for the cheap card), asus will give much better support compared to the other which is more than likely going to be of no use to you and leave you with a lighter wallet and a bad card.

also what is your power supply, i wouldn't recomend putting any of these in a computer you bought at a store as it almost definitely can't handle anything other than what is already in it, even if it says it has 3 or 400w's, it doesn't.

Irs custom built with a 500 wat PSU
 
do you know the brand though? a 6670 might be ok with a cheap 500w, not recomended but it might work, but i wouldn't stick the 6750 or anything higher if it is a cheap-o one
