EVGA: It has GDDR3 not DDR2 like the Sparkle

 

[mikee]

and that will result in better performance?

Well it's better to get the latest one.

 

[peterhuang913]

and that will result in better performance?

Of course

EVGA for sure. DDR3 is significantly faster than the Sparkle's DDR2. Plus it's a very high quality brand w/ good warranty program. Can't go wrong.

i think the evga one only has dvi ports so does this mean if I get it I will have to get a dvi monitor too?

EVGA all the way.
