[SOLVED] GPU comparison question

[willyoke]

Hi.

Can someone please tell me which of these cards is more powerful and why? I'm curious, as the Zotac is much cheaper. Thanks.

The chips inside are both the same and both made by Nvidia. The only difference between the cards is cooling. Both of the cards will keep the GPU cool, but the Zotac is a mini card and will have smaller fans. That means the fans will have to run harder to keep the GPU cool, which means it will be a little louder.

As for performance, they will be the same.

	Asus	Zotac
Core Clock	1582 MHz	1518 MHz
Boost Clock	1771 MHz	1708 MHz
CUDA Cores	1920	1920
Effective Clock Speed	8 GHz	8 GHz
Width	4.15 cm	N/A
Depth	24 cm	21 cm
Height	12.9 cm	12.2cm
Interface	DVI-D (dual link) ¦ 2 x HDMI ¦ 2 x DisplayPort	DVI-I (dual link) ¦ 3 x DisplayPort ¦ HDMI

Main differences are a slight clock speed difference, the size, and the interfaces available.
The clock speed will likely be negligble.
The Zotac is smaller, has less HDMI, but more DP ports.
