was wondering if someone could explain to me why u got this like Asus geforce 6800 and then u have another geforce 6800 i cant remember the name before but isnt it the same thing or is it something else?

I don't have a clue with computers...

Not exactly sure what you're asking...is it about different versions of the 6800? There are several of them: 6800LE, 6800XT, 6800, 6800GS, 6800GT, 6800Ultra, 6800Ultra Extreme (I think that's all of them). There are differences in in GPU & memory clock speeds, the type of memory used (DDR, GDDR2, GDDR3), the number of pipelines, etc. The basic differences can be found on this chart:

Or are you meaning different brands?

If different brands, NVidia simply sells the various GPU's (graphics processing units) to makers like Asus, who turn it into a card, 95% of the time based on Nvidia's reference design.

In most cases, various card manufacturers make equally performing cards with pretty much equal quality, but manufacturers are free to put on any components they want. In other words, I wouldn't go with Bob's brand video card. Stick with reputable brands.

Reputable brands include:

- eVGA (lifetime warranty)(love their overclocked cards)

- BFD (Good high end brand also)

- Leadtek (good price reasonable brand... I got this brand and works good)

- Gigabyte (Huge overpricing on these but if u can find a good seller then go for it... check prices with other brands first)

- MSI (Never used but have heard good reports)
