I want to upgrade my graphics card, but I don't know wich one to buy: MSI NX 6800 TD128 (DDR) or GALAXY GeFORCE6800 128 GDDR3?
Both cards has the same price (about 300,00€) but I don't know the deference between DDR and GDDR3 memory types. All I know is that MSI's products are one of the best! But what if GDDR3 graphics cards are faster? Please, help me!!

GDDR3 is a bit faster and much better for overclocking. But you won't see much of a difference comparing both so if you like MSI more than Galaxy then go for the MSI 6800.

Hey i would make sure my memory bandwidth could handle the gddr3 first in other words you need 8x agp or pcix for it to be noticably better. Also listen to FuRy and stick with brand names, i have been burned so many time with noname stuff and then the company just disapears, plus you can actually trust MSI
