http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...=0&NoMapp=0
I am having a hard time understanding if this is the same as
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814122009
If not which one is faster? Or whats the difference rather?

Nope, one is made by XFX, one is made by Leadtek. Go for the XFX one, it is factory overclocked and will be a little faster. XFX is also a better manufacturer IMO.

thank you "TheMatt" for your quick reply im buying it now. thanks again.

**TheMatt** · 01-28-2007, 04:13 PM

You're welcome. BTW, that was a good deal Tiger had there, Newegg had the same card for $40 more.

hello again, heheh, i just realized that one (xfx) has 2 dvi connections and my monitor has a VGA plug, so i will need the adapter but will it bring unwanted stress to the card? I heard it would?

Almost all dual DVI cards come with DVI to VGA adapters, and these are simply using the analog part of the DVI-I, there is no harm in using them.

Here is a good page with a lot of info on the different types of DVI.
