Difference between two cards?

[Plazmadude]

Hello all. I am looking to upgrade to a better budget graphics card (almost sounds like an oxymoron lol) from at Galaxy Geforce GT 520. It's an okay card, but can't really game with it. I'd like to run BF3 with good fps. I have no preference for quality. For a long time, I was looking at an XFX AMD Radeon HD 7750 link;tigerdirect for $120. But today, I was looking at other cards and found the same chipset, but different brand. link;newegg

Could somebody tell me what the difference is between the cars, if there is a noticeable difference? The specs look the same, but I could be overlooking something really easy and simple. I don't want to shell out 120 if I can get the same thing for 100.

They're the same card with different coolers. In this case it looks like it may be worth it to go with the XFX one, its only another $20 and the cooler on the Powercolour card looks pretty crappy. But if you don't care about noise then save the money I suppose.

They are the same basic card. I might pick the cheaper one, it comes with far cry 3.
The 7750 is not a hot card, so any coolers are largely irrelevant.

Thanks guys for the responses. I'm still thinking about it, but you've definitely helped.

you may wish to look at this, although only because it's on sale.

Oh I should've said that I can only take single slot cards. 😛 I have an old mobo, not quite sure the type name, but it's basically reversed/upside down from today's boards. So any double slot cards would take the slot itself plus one above that, instead of below it.

In that case this is your card
