What's the diff?

[ibjeepr]

Can someone tell me why all these cards look identical but range in price and some manufacturers actually have 2 cards that look identical but very in price?

Get that one. Has slightly a higher core clock than the others.

Why does the HIS and XFX have 2 identical cards for 2 different prices? The specs look the same dispite slightly diffenent model numbers.

I just said it... They are different brands. They have different prices because of that. They might also have a different edition.

its hard to explain.The coolers might be made out of copper for better cooling or the vrms are better material.Often it depends on the company and how they price there after market gpus.

HIS is the brand, so why does HIS have 2 different cards that look identical but have different prices? Same with XFX.

I see, it would be nice if they would actually tell you what your getting for the extra $10-$15.

different clock speeds or different cooling solutions

ya I thought clock speed as well but they are the same. Must be some non-specified cooling differences then.

sometimes the PCB or cooler gets a slight redesign and a newer model number comes out. Sometimes different regions get different models as well. Generally you just want a card with a good cooler for a good price.
