Are those eVGA cards? If so, I think they are slightly different in clocks and/or game/software bundles.
I'll check out newegg to see.

Here ya go:

"N517" 470/1100 core/mem
"N516" 460/1100 core/mem
"N515" 445/1070 core/mem

I cant see a difference other than it does not come with Quake4. Nothing to justify it's higher price. I looked and compared all 4 cards side by side and the only thing I saw was the 518 comes with a HDTV adapter and the others come with HDTV VIVO cable. But this just might be different wording by the egg.
The 515 looks to be the best deal with 20.00 rebate.

N515 is the plain jane alu cooler.
n516 higher clocks, copper cooler, GTX sized fan
n517 same as 516 except has 10mhz more on gpu clock
n518 same card as the 515, but this one usually comes bundled with the "free" mobo

I got the 516 for $320 and it was clocked at 470 out of the box (517 rates). Overclocks to 500/1275 too, so to say I'm happy with it is an understatement.

I've got the n518, twas worth it going from AGP to PCI-E. Runs 526/1200 on stock clocks with the stock cooler. Pretty sexy IMO.

The 518 is exactly the same as 515 except that the 518 comes with a eVGA shipping box that holds the retail box in.

Wow, thats a very nice oc !.

I have a 517 and 518, and the 518 actually clocks higher than the 517. I ended up flashing both of them with the 517 bios so they run 470/1100 "stock" and I dont have to mess with software. I HAD to replace the cooler on the 518 though, that high pitch fan drove me nuts.
