Which video card?

[gerberdude]

Does anyone know the difference between these two video cards?

and

Or perhaps why there is a ten dollar difference in price?

they are the exact same card. looks like they went up 10 dollars and offered a 20 dollar rebate.

The Model Number 128-A8-N350--128A8N350DX and the Heat sink are the only differnces that I can see?

[Xayd]

maybe a newer chipset revision, but they should be functionally the same.

Well it looks like they deactivated the $129.00 card, so now I'm stuck playing the rebate game, which I hate. I have heard good reviews on this particular card, does anyone have any recommendations for something else in this price range, or is this card a good buy?

That looks like the best card in that price range. The only other one that is close is this Sapphire X1600Pro 256Mb GDDR2.

6600GT is a good buy in that price range. if you were going to go past 200 dollars i'd say wail til you have enough to spend on a 7800GT, but below 150 i'd go with a 6600GT.

Yeah there's no way I can come up with $200, and all I want to run is a few EA games, along with maybe a couple of newer RPG's. I don't need all the bells and whistles for any MMOG's, so that's why I have settled on the 6600GT. It should be a big improvement over my Rage Fury 128! :D
