Hello there, sorry for being a newbie, I don't know much about hardware, so I was about to upgrade my bad graphics card from a AMD Radeon HD 5450 to a Geforce GTX 750Ti, but when I searched for the graphics card there was lots of results, for example ASUS Geforce GTX 750Ti, MSI Geforce GTX 750Ti and NVIDIA Geforce GTX 750Ti , sorry for this stupid question, but are all of these the same graphics card with the same performance? Just with different names? Or are these a hole different kind of graphics card. Thanks for understanding my problem :)
 
Solution
Nvidia/AMD design the actual processor (GPU) on the graphics card. They will also design what is called a "reference" board, a basic design starting point for the card. The other names you see, ASUS, MSI and all, they take these chips and build the actual cards, often using that basic reference design (though not necessarily). These brands will distinguish themselves with custom coolers, card designs tweaks and software packages for overclocking. Some brands have arguably better quality than others but generally speaking they are all pretty good and performance with the same processor (GPU) will be more or less the same.
